[6] Initially training to become a ballet performer, they later attended Coláiste Stiofáin Naofa, planning for university to study dance.

[7][8] After graduating from Urdang, Robinson spent two years teaching themself how to write and sing pop songs.

The song, which was written while Robinson was addicted to drugs[10] and its uncensored music video being released on pornography sites,[11] was described by The Line of Best Fit writer Robert Davidson as a "stoic-but-smashed stream of consciousness... with their coaxing voice documenting the events around them like a debaucherous diary.

The song, named after an occult term, is stated to be about Robinson's desire to break self-destructive habits as an independent artist.

[20] According to an interview by the Irish Sun, they entered to "curse out" memories of them being raped in May 2023, around three weeks before a gig at their debut performance at a festival.

[26] In response to criticism, Robinson released a press statement on 29 January,[27] and in an appearance on The Late Late Show in February 2024, Bambie Thug said they wished "love and light" to those who had reacted negatively to the song, mentioning that one person had started a petition to remove them from the competition.

[32] One of Robinson's major influences musically is a reluctance to be stuck to a style or genre; in an interview with NME, Robinson claimed that they could do "everything" creatively, stating their belief that the heavy metal music community had expanded to include more genres and be more accepting of the LGBTQ+ community.

[33] They have been linked with the "nu gen" movement alongside acts like Poppy, Dana Dentata and Cassyette (Bambie collaborated with the latter on the track Doomsday Blue).

It's important if we are going to be breaking [through] so that younger kids and teens listening to our music, and looking up to us, aren't fed this negative behaviour.

I also didn't have that growing up so it's important to have people you can relate to and have music that speaks to you and allows you more freedom to be yourself – more queer voices is what the world fucking needs.

[13][36] Robinson has expressed support for the exclusion of Israel from the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 as a result of the Israel–Hamas war.
