Early Life
[edit]Lily Davies was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She began writing songs at the age of 13, using a microphone gifted by her father, a former composer for Canadian television shows. Her early exposure to music and songwriting set the foundation for her future career.[1]
Career
[edit]In 2021, LilyIsThatYou released her debut single "FMRN," an acronym for "Fuck Me Right Now." The song's bold themes and catchy melody resonated with a wide audience, amassing over 40 million global streams. Its popularity surged on platforms like TikTok, despite being temporarily removed in July 2021.[2]
Following the success of "FMRN," she released the single "Party 22," a raucous party anthem inspired by post-pandemic nightlife. In July 2022, she unveiled her debut EP, The Character, a six-track collection exploring themes of personal growth and self-expression.[3]
LilyIsThatYou signed with Warner Records, transitioning from an independent artist to a major label. This partnership has allowed her to focus more on her artistry and creative process.[4]
In December 2023, she released the EP POP MUSIC. Then, in October 2024, she released Painful Euphoria, which was later re-released in November 2024 with additional tracks.[5] These projects showcased her evolving sound and artistic growth.
