[9] "As If" received attention from the public when Elton John selected the song to play on his Beats 1 radio show. [10] In May 2017, she supported English DJ Jonas Blue on his European tour. [10] Later that month, she released a self-titled extended play, which was acclaimed by critics.

Following the release of more singles including "Give 'n' Take", "Love the Lie", "Business" and "Silly Boy", Call Me Loop released her second extended play, Drama. [13] Georgia Maher of The Line of Best Fit described Drama as a "solid collection of vibrant, infectious pop wonders", and titled her a "rising pop maverick", complimenting her songwriting ability. [14] In 2020, "React", a song she co-wrote, was released by The Pussycat Dolls. [15] She expressed her excitement at writing for them, commenting: "To have written it for an iconic girl band that I grew up listening to is just mind-blowing." [16] This was followed by the release of her next singles, "Downhill From Here" [17] and "Strike". [18] She returned in 2022 with the singles "Year of the Ex" and "Painkiller". [19] In 2023, she released her final single, "Goodbye Song".
