Grimmie began posting covers of songs on her official YouTube account [zeldaxlove64] in the summer of 2009 (July, 17). According to Grimmie, her friend persuaded her to post her videos on the popular video sharing website. After receiving positive feedback for her performance, Grimmie began to regularly upload videos of herself performing covers, usually entitled "Me singing ...". For example, she posted videos of herself performing covers of the Miley Cyrus hits Party in the U.S.A. and When I Look at You. Getting more popular on YouTube, Grimmie eventually got in contact with Kurt Hugo Schneider (through fellow YouTube musician Tiffany Alvord whom she recorded a duet with). Schneider and Grimmie then recorded a medley of Miley Cyrus songs that quickly became one of Christina's most-viewed videos. After watching this video, Selena Gomez's stepfather Brian Teefey contacted Grimmie to be her manager.
Due to her popularity, Grimmie began getting media attention, leading The Hollywood Gossip to post an article about Grimmie and her music, comparing her to Selena Gomez. After the article was posted, buzz around Christina rose, and many began comparing her to fellow singer Rebecca Black, who rose to fame on YouTube as well. The comparisons only led to more interest in Grimmie. After gaining over 17,000,000 views on her videos, Grimmie focused on recording more original material. Despite wanting to post singles on iTunes, she stated she was instructed by her manager not to do so until she had a full album's worth of material. Hollywood Records's Selena Gomez & the Scene's former guitarist Ethan Roberts, wrote Liar Liar and Unforgivable with her.
