[34] In November 2019, Beabadoobee released a pair of Spotify Singles, one being a cover of "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds as well as a version of "She Plays Bass" recorded in Abbey Road Studios in London.

[38] She was scheduled to also support the band during the North American leg of this tour in April 2020,[39] however it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

[41] The song became a massively successful sleeper hit after going viral on the app TikTok in early 2020,[42] becoming Beabadoobee's first official chart entry in her career, both locally and internationally.

It earned gold certification status in Belgium, Canada, France, Mexico and New Zealand, as well as Platinum or higher in the U.S. and the U.K. among several other countries.

"[44] Beabadoobee announced her debut studio album, Fake It Flowers, and released its lead single "Care" on 14 July 2020.

[53][54] Beabadoobee released the single "Last Day on Earth" on 24 March, produced and co-written by Matty Healy and George Daniel of the 1975.

"[57] In January 2023, Beabadoobee posted the snippet of an unreleased song on TikTok, which soon went viral across the website due to its popularity with couples and the approach of the upcoming holiday.

The collaboration gained significant attention and marked a continued evolution in her sound, blending chamber pop with heartfelt lyrics inspired by her personal experiences.

[58] Starting in March 2023, Beabadoobee toured in Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium, Norway, Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark.

Beabadoobee also performed as an opening act on twelve shows of the US leg of Taylor Swift's 2023 The Eras Tour.

[64] Laus has cited Elliott Smith, Mac DeMarco, the Moldy Peaches, Pavement, Mazzy Star, the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Daniel Johnston as her musical influences.

[15] Laus' musical style is also deeply influenced by 90s alternative rock and shoegaze bands like The Cure,[66] The Smiths,[66] My Bloody Valentine,[67] and The Smashing Pumpkins.
