She was also a co-writer on the 2015 single "Powerful" by Major Lazer featuring Ellie Goulding. In 2018, Juber won two BMI awards for her work co-writing "Mercy" by Shawn Mendes and "In the Name of Love" by Martin Garrix and Bebe Rexha. Later in 2020, Juber wrote "This Is Us" for Jimmie Allen and Noah Cyrus, who performed their duet at the 2020 CMT Music Awards. Other notable writing credits include "She Loves Control" by Camila Cabello, "Ocean" by Martin Garrix featuring Khalid, Rita Ora's "Let You Love Me", Robin Schulz's "Headlights", "Disarm You" for Kaskade (both of which she also provided vocal features), and the entire Lykke Li album so sad so sexy.
