She also co-wrote Beyoncé's Billboard Hot 100 number-one single "Texas Hold 'Em", which earned her two nominations at the Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year.

Damaged Vol. 1 In November 2017, Bülow released the debut EP Damaged Vol. 1, garnering her the title of "New Artist of the Week" by Apple Music Canada. The EP featured three tracks, with the track "Not a Love Song" released as a single first. In a statement to Noisey, Bülow described her inspiration for the track as "the excitement of meeting someone for the first time" and eventually realizing that she "just wasn't ready for that commitment yet." The rest of her EP also consists of "smart, poignant tracks about guys".
Damaged Vol. 1 was praised by critics for its "real and authentic" portrayal of bülow's voice and use of dynamic percussion elements. "Not a Love Song" was also praised for its "bouncy" and "synth-saturated" style.
