Established celebrities, such as Grimes and Bella Hadid praised the song on social media.[2]
The day before Halloween, Springs teased a second single while dressed as Dionne from Clueless (1995), which hit around a million views on TikTok.[3] "Girlfriend" was released on November 2, 2022, and surpassed one million Spotify streams with people calling it the "awkward Black girl anthem".[4] Heven Haile from Pitchfork described the song as "an ideal rom-com song" that "channels the bratty bravado of Family Jewels-era MARINA and the springy falsetto of Kate Bush".[5]
The singer collaborated with English producer Burns and released "Heavun" on June 12, 2023. In an interview with DIY, Springs explained the song "finds her portraying an avaricious protagonist that desires boundless wealth."[6] She later released another single named "Enknee1" on August 21, 2023, she later announced her debut extended play.[7]
