On August 29, 1978, Hayedeh immigrated to the [[United Kingdom]]. The next year, Iran underwent an [[Iranian Revolution|Islamic Revolution]]. She stayed there for three years and moved to the [[United States]] in 1982 to continue her singing career.

[[Caltex Records]], an Iranian recording label, supported Hayedeh in her career.

Hayedeh lived in [[Los Angeles]] from 1982 until the end of her life. The area became a hub for the Persian (Iranian) community in [[Southern California]] since the 1980s.<ref name="hayedehdocumentary"/>

Hayedeh released many successful albums during this time, and all her songs were bootlegged in Iran. Hayedeh's political and nostalgic songs such as "Rouzaye Roshan", "Ghesseyeh Man", "Zendegi" became very popular with the Iranian [[exile]] community.<ref name="hayedehdocumentary"/>

Her songwriters and producers in the United States were mostly [[Sadegh Nojouki]] and [[Mohammad Heydari]]. Songwriters she worked with were Ardalan Sarfaraz, Homa Mir-Afshar and [[Bijan Samandar]].{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} Songwriter who wrote more than 30 of Hayedeh's songs and hits was her best friend [[Leila Kasra]] (a.k.a. Hedieh), who was featured in many of her albums reciting her poems. During her exile, Hayedeh regularly appeared on the Los Angeles-based Persian-language TV channels [[Ali Limonadi|IRTV]], [[Jaam-e-Jam (TV channel)|Jaam-E-Jam]] and Jonbesh TV.<ref name="hayedehdocumentary"/>
