Presented as a visual album with music videos for each of its 15 tracks, the release was a major critical success. In 2018, she released Whack World, her debut full-length. She released several singles in 2017, including "Child Please" and "Mumbo Jumbo," seemingly a satire of mumble rap. Upon returning to Philadelphia in 2015, Whack (now going by her real name) reconnected with an acquaintance from her teenage years, engineer and producer Kenete Simms, and the two began working on music together. Her family moved to Atlanta so she could finish high school. However, she wasn't satisfied with her work, and was having trouble developing an individual style. A 2011 freestyle video produced by Philadelphia underground music collective We Run the Streets earned her an audience, and she began releasing songs online and performing around Philadelphia. She started rapping as a teenager, initially going by the name Dizzle Dizz.

As cosigns from Billie Eilish and BROCKHAMPTON continued to build the vocalist's profile, the musician set to work on a debut album, What Could Possibly Go Wrong. With "3 Nights" racking up half a billion streams, and Kenny Beats collaboration "Phone Numbers" soon becoming an underground hit of its own, Fike's popularity skyrocketed. After featuring on Kevin Abstract's single "Peach" (along with BROCKHAMPTON's Joba and Bearface), Fike issued two tracks of his own, "Açaí Bowl" and "Roller Blades," in 2019. The set's opening track, "3 Nights," topped a million streams before the end of the month. They put out the reworked Don't Forget About Me, Demos in mid-October 2018.
