She trained in studio composition at SUNY Purchase . After graduating from SUNY Purchase, Mitski moved to New York City where she wrote and recorded her third studio album, Bury Me at Makeout Creek.

In June 2016 she released the album Puberty 2. It was recorded over a two-week period at Acme Studios in Westchester (owned by Peter Denenberg), and produced by Patrick Hyland, Mistki’s only collaborator to date. Puberty 2 received an 8.5 and Best New Music on Pitchfork, where Jillian Mapes wrote, "There is, of course, a very simple rule for pattern-mixing: there must be unity in the color palette. Mitski’s very Mitski-ness is what holds Puberty 2 together. This quality is not relegated simply to her wry and articulate lyrics, staggering and sharp as many of them are. I can’t imagine mistaking a Mitski song for another’s, and it’s in large part because of her voice, which stretches through different modes—deadpan disenfranchisement, smooth R&B, dream-pop croon, gasping-for-breath pleas, wall of harmonies (with herself). Yet she fully harnesses every voice on the album, guiding us through emotional terrain only she knows by heart."Puberty also scored an aggregated score of 87 on Metacritic, indicating near-universal acclaim.
