The band's first release was the song “Mr. Watson”, which was released in February 2016. The song “Diamond Days” was later released on April 15, 2016.

On September 7, 2016, the band released their single “Hatefuck” and announced an EP would be released on September 16, 2016. The following day, the official album art was released. In a statement to fans, Teddy wrote:
‘'Finally, after months of playing and perfecting, our EP +30mg is complete! with the EP comes our latest single, “Hatefuck”, a buzzing ballad I wrote about some of my very lowest moments. Some people hit rock bottom, some people crash right through and keep falling down – that was me, and if what came out of it was this song then it was certainly worth it.“

On November 16, 2018, Cruel Youth released the single ‘'Devil in Paradise’‘ which Teddy said included the ’‘most truthful and important lyrics [she has] ever shared with anyone in [her] life’‘. On December 14, 2018, another single by Cruel Youth titled ’‘Portrait of a Female’‘ was released.
