She has received six Grammy Award nominations, including twice for Song of the Year and Best New Artist, as well as nominations from the MTV Video Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and American Music Awards.

The song peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, received quintuple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and preceded her third extended play (EP), Nervous System (2017). The EP and its follow-up, Inner Monologue Part 1 (2019), both moderately entered the Billboard 200. Her debut studio album, Not in Chronological Order (2021), was met with critical praise despite commercial failure. In her songwriting career, Michaels has been credited on songs for Selena Gomez, Olivia Rodrigo, Demi Lovato, Ed Sheeran, Fifth Harmony, Shawn Mendes, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Gwen Stefani, Sabrina Carpenter, and Tate McRae, among others. She has co-written two Billboard Hot 100-number one songs: Bieber's "Sorry" and Gomez's "Lose You to Love Me".
