Michaels' debut single, "Issues," released in 2017, peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and earned her a quintuple-platinum certification from the RIAA. This early success was followed by her debut major-label EP, Nervous System, which reached number 48 on the Billboard 200 chart.

In 2021, Michaels released her debut studio album, Not in Chronological Order, to positive reception despite commercial failure.
