At age 15 in 2016, Peters began her music career; performing several original songs on The Ayala Show.[9][non-primary source needed]

In August of 2017, Peters independently released her debut single "Place We Were Made" and later, that December released her second single "Birthday".[10] The songs gained attention in indie-pop circles and "Place We Were Made" was named BBC Introducing's song of the week early 2018.[6] Following this attention, Peters signed with Atlantic Records UK.[10] Under their banner, she released various singles, notably Worst Of You, and two EPs, Dressed Too Nice for a Jacket and It's Your Bed Babe, It's Your Funeral.[11][12][13]

"Feels Like This" (from Dressed Too Nice for a Jacket) and "Favourite Ex" were featured on season five of Love Island UK and later "Brooklyn" (from You Signed Up For This), was featured in the ninth season of Love Island UK.[14]

In 2020, Peters contributed the song "Smile" to the soundtrack album Birds of Prey: The Album, for the film Birds of Prey.[15] She was also announced as the opening act for Niall Horan's Nice to Meet Ya Tour on tourdates in Europe.[16] However, these concerts were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] Peters released work for another soundtrack in 2021, this time for the Apple TV+ original series Trying. She wrote and performed all songs, with a feature by fellow British recording artist James Bay on the song "Funeral".[17][18] Around this time, Peters created an online book club via Instagram.[19]

On 15 June 2021, Peters left Atlantic Records and signed with Ed Sheeran's Gingerbread Man Records.[20] Under this label, she released her debut album You Signed Up for This on 27 August 2021.[21] The album debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and was the top selling album in UK independent record stores for that week.[22] With the first two singles of the record, "John Hughes Movie" and "Psycho", Peters garnered her first notations on the British charts.[23]

Peters embarked on her first headlining tour in 2022, touring the United States.[3] Later that year, she joined Sheeran's +–=÷x Tour as opening act.[24] While touring she released singles "Cate's Brother", "Blonde" and "Not Another Rockstar".[3][25][26] Peters later, announced she would tour the United Kingdom in April of 2023.[25]
