Career Lapid began releasing covers on YouTube and Instagram in 2018. She began writing original songs in February 2020.
In late 2020, Lapid gained popularity for her song "Producer Man", which is about her experience with a bad music producer. She released an a cappella version on TikTok, one verse at a time. She is signed to Republic Records. Her contract was transferred to Mercury Records, a split of Republic Records.
In January 2022, she was named as one of Shazam's top 5 artists to watch in 2022. She was featured in amplifyHER, a United Nations podcast. Throughout the 2020s, she gained more popularity through some of her other songs "In My Mind", "When She Loved Me" and "Poster Boy".

In March 2026, Lapid stated on X that she had been "lost at writing" since the production of Buzzkill, but her life had become eventful within the span of a fortnight, and she had enough material to fill up an album's worth of content. Throughout the rest of the year she had been teasing her demos on Instagram and letting fans vote for what tracks they wanted to hear on the finished project. She completed writing the project in June, and on 24 August 2026 she announced the lead single, "One Good Thing" out on 4 September.
Influences Lapid cites fellow Filipino artists Jessica Sanchez and 4th Impact as influences.
