Her debut single "Shook (The Answer)" was released in early 2003, when Chante was only 14 years old.

For the follow-up, "Unpredictable" went #1 on both radio & video charts,[7] she released her first video, which hit number one on YTV and the top ten on MuchMusic.

It also became the highest selling CD single in Canada and the only Canadian artist to do so, other than Shania Twain.

In early February 2004, Chanté's third single, "Bad Boy", was released. It was also successful, breaking the Top 5 on radio and becoming the #1 video on MuchMusic for 4 weeks. The video was directed by director Little X.[18] Later, in June 2004, Chanté topped the charts again (Top 5) with the release of her fourth single "Does He Love Me?" ft.
