Signed to Warner Music, the band's breakout single "I Would Stay" was a number-one hit on the Dutch Top 40 and the third-biggest song of 2000.

Their performance at the nationally-televised 2000 Pinkpop Festival, when Govaert was 18 years old, helped earn the band significant media attention.

[3] Their final single, "Sweet Goodbyes", reached number two on the Dutch Top 40 and was named the second-biggest song of 2009.

The band gained more exposure after a show at the Dutch Pinkpop festival, with the ballad "I Would Stay" being received exceptionally well.

Govaert began to lose her voice, while Kuijsters experienced severe pains in her hand that stopped her from playing shows without painkillers.

After the tour, Govaert needed an operation on her vocal cords, while Kuijsters was diagnosed as simply not being "made" to play guitar.

A performance for The Box TV program Pure was recorded live and released on DVD and CD called That'll Be Unplugged.

The band flew to Los Angeles to collaborate with the American producers Wizardz of Oz, writing most of their new album there.

In early 2005, Krezip traveled to Ethiopia at the request of charity foundation Novib for an education campaign.

The song "Same Mistake" was used in the Dutch movie Het Schnitzelparadijs (Schnitzel Paradise), which became a huge hit in the Netherlands.

In 2007, the band teamed up with the Swedish producers Adel Dahdal and Peter Mansson to record a new album.

On 6 February 2007 a Dutch radio station (3FM) played a rough version of the first single, "Plug It In & Turn Me On".

While on tour, Krezip performed at Pinkpop Festival for the fourth time, replacing Amy Winehouse.

On 17 August 2007, Jacqueline announced on Giel Beelen's radio show that Krezip would give a special concert on 29 December 2007, in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam to celebrate its tenth anniversary.

On 29 January 2019 they premiered their single "Lost Without You" on the Dutch TV show De Wereld Draait Door.

The band's comeback started after drummer Bram van den Berg saw a 40-year Pinkpop compilation CD.

[13] On February 12, it was announced that drummer Bram van den Berg will fill in for drummer Larry Mullen Jr. of Irish band U2 on their U2:UV concert residency at the MSG Sphere, which started in late 2023, as Mullen Jr. faces recovery from surgery.
