Following its success, Candy's status in the underground scene rose as she began to release her own music, including the songs "Das Me" (2012), "Everybody Does" (2013), and "I Wanna Fuck Right Now" (2013).

In 2014, she signed a recording contract with RCA and released her debut major label single, "Opulence", with an accompanying EP of the same name.

Following a slew of pop-driven singles in 2016, including "Happy Days", "Paper or Plastic" and the moderately-successful "Living Out Loud", Candy left the labels in 2017.

[10] While working as a mannequin stylist for Hustler store fronts, Candy was approached at a party by producer Khris Lorenz, who was drawn to her outlandish fashion style and invited her to the studio to create a song together.

[11] Already having had amateur experience with publishing song concepts and covers of popular rap songs on her Tumblr blog, Candy and close friend Jesse Saint John worked with Lorenz on Candy's debut single "Das Me", which eventually received an official release on October 16, 2012.

[3] Candy's first major label recording took place when she appeared on the track "Cloud Aura" on Charli XCX's debut album True Romance.

[14] In late 2013, Candy caught singer and songwriter Sia's attention, and was contacted via Instagram with the purpose of writing one song for her.

Sia eventually ended up executive producing Candy's debut EP, helping her to get a record contract and to find, in Sia's words: "[a] decent, nice, honest management, and [to] help [her] make the art [she] want to make from a place of positive mental health and love".

[23][24] On May 16, 2015, Brooke Candy uploaded on Vevo, a video called "A Study in Duality", where she "explores the various archetypes of today's culture".

[27] She released a single called "Rubber Band Stacks" on August 13 with a music video, directed by Cody Critcheloe[28][unreliable source?]

[36] On June 2 a new track called "Nasty" along its music video, directed by Rankin and co-styled by Candy herself premiered via Hunger TV.

[37] On July 7, another single called "Paper or Plastic" was released to a mixed reception[38] When responding to criticism regarding her change in musical style, Candy stated: "[W]hatever I have to do [to] garner a larger, broader audience to spread my message on a larger scale, I stand for women, I stand for freedom.

[40][41][42] Candy's debut album was set to be called Daddy Issues, being executively produced by then label-mate Sia, who was also a songwriter on the record.

Candy spoke to Bullett magazine about her experience with RCA Records, comparing it to the film The Matrix and expressed relief at leaving the label.

[55][56] She premiered the music video for her single "Volcano" on July 7, 2017, co-written by Candy herself, producer Cory Enemy, Sia, and Jesse Saint John.

[58] It was featured on the Germany's Next Topmodel "Hip-Hop Edition" episode, where Candy made an appearance and a music video filming took place.

[60] The single was written by Candy with Jesse Saint John, MNDR, Peter Wade, Will Ivy and Dave Sharma[60] and released on May 18, 2018, alongside its lyric video, directed by Korean artist MLMA.

[61] The follow-up single "My Sex" featuring Pussy Riot, MNDR and Mykki Blanco was released on August 17, 2018, along its animated music video, directed by Swedish artist Pastelae and made in collaboration with ManyVids.

[69] On December 25, 2018, she released a collection of unreleased tracks for free download which included a demo of Candy's 2017 single "Volcano" as well as collaborations with SOPHIE, Lakewet, and Cory Enemy among others.

"[73] On February 28, Candy confirmed the album was titled Sexorcism and that the first promotional single was called "Happy",[74] which was released on March 29, 2019 along its official music video directed by Rankin.

The winner of the auction would also receive a replica of Candy's outfit from the "Genesis" music video tailored to fit their size.

[87] With the working title Freaky Princess, the album's initial lead single "Flip Phone" was released on September 9, 2022, along a self-directed music video[88] produced by the magazine Paper along Korean sunglasses brand Gentle Monster.

[91] In an interview with Only Fire in January 2023, Candy discussed the possibility of reworking her upcoming album into an EP, stating that she already had enough finished material for one.

[92] On February 1, 2023, Brooke announced her third single since Sexorcism, "Juicy Fruit", which was released later in the month on Valentine's Day and features backing vocals from Cecile Believe.

[96] On May 30, Candy released a follow-up single, "Pills", described by Click as a "pulsating, electro-tinged slice of dirty pop".

[100] Candy's music has been described as electropop[101][102] and pop-rap,[103] while her more club-rap[38] work has been recognized for its twerk-able nature, springy beats, and cyberpunk.

[104] Candy explained after leaving RCA that she had believed the record deal would give her "a fucking massive platform to spread a conscious, positive message to young girls and the queer community" but reversed her stance and decided "[staying] true to what [she is] good at—making raw and authentic rap music, and just being [herself]" would help her to better do so.

Candy recalled being previously advised by record executives not to create a "sexual" music video for her single, "I Wanna Fuck Right Now."

"[106] Vice blogger Ali Carman asked Candy, in an interview, if she was offended that her internet persona was considered fake.

"[104] MTV called Candy's look "super hardcore", a "breath of fresh, fearless air", and a prayer answered by the pop goddesses.
