Lindemann began posting recordings of her singing on the social media app Keek, quickly gaining a following both on the app and her other social media accounts.

The song peaked at #4 on the Next Big Sound chart, and at #26 on the Spotify Viral 50 chart. Lindemann wrote the song to "show people that there’s more to girls than just being pretty. We have so much to offer. People should get past the physical appearance to something deeper." The music video for "Pretty Girl" premiered through People on March 9, 2017. "Pretty Girl" is Lindemann's first song to ever chart on the US Pop Radio Charts as it peaked at 50. It also peaked at #9 on the UK Singles Chart.
Lindemann credits BANKS, Lana Del Rey, and Spooky Black as several of her main influences, calling them "the 'anti pop stars'...off-kilter artists who do their individual thing and are unconcerned with being mainstream."
