The remix of "Love Songs" was released in January 2020 featuring 6lack.[6] In March 2020, she appeared on the track "Euphoria" with Don Toliver and Travis Scott.[8] Her debut album, Teenage Fever, was released on August 14, 2020.[9]Which debuted at number two on the US Heatseekers Albums chart. The album received widespread acclaim for its introspective lyrics and infectious melodies.
