From 2007 to 2011, she was a member of the girl group the Stunners. After they disbanded, Tinashe released her first musical projects, the mixtapes In Case We Die (2012), Reverie (2012) and Black Water (2013). Tinashe emerged into mainstream success with her 2014 major label debut single, "2 On" (featuring Schoolboy Q). The song peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and served as lead single for her debut studio album Aquarius (2014), which debuted at number 17 on the US Billboard 200.

The lead single of Quantum Baby, "Nasty", became a viral hit and was her first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100. A remix of the album's single "No Broke Boys" with Disco Lines saw global commercial success, charting in numerous top 10s across the globe.
