In 2014, she released Catch on Soundcloud, which Katy Perry tweeted about, providing an instant audience. Prime and Bitch followed. EP CollXtion I was released in April 2015, with an accompanying residency at the Phi Centre in Montreal from April 30 to May 2. In 2015, she also co-wrote several tracks on Troye Sivan's Blue Neighborhood, and toured with him as an opening act.
Hughes has been praised for her voice, multimedia artistic endeavors, fan participation, and engaging live performances.

Allie X Lyrics

Following the light
Driving to the restaurant
While my lipstick dries
Yeah, we've got next to nothing
But nothing feels so right
As stumbling through the dark with you
Comets in the sky
Baby, wherever we go
Breathe a little bit closer
Drive up, right into the storm
And fade into the night
We just know how
Holding me with tightness
A beautiful alliance
Windows roll down
Yeah, we got the timing
Right down to a science
Right down, yeah, right down to it
Right down to, right down to it
Right down
Right down to a science
Sink beneath the surface while
Reaching for the stars
The world is out of focus like
All the passing cars
Breathing in the temperature
Filtered through your scarf
It's bigger than molecular
It's everything we are
Baby, wherever we go
Breathe a little bit closer
Drive up, right into the storm
And fade into the night
We just know how
Holding me with tightness
A beautiful alliance
Windows roll down
Yeah, we got the timing
Right down to a science
Right down, yeah, right down to it
Right down to, right down to it
Right down
Right down to a science
Something 'bout the way we ride
I think we might be in our prime
We're brighter than a socialite in the dark
Something 'bout the way we ride
I think we might be in our prime
We're brighter than a socialite in the dark
We just know how
Holding me with tightness
A beautiful alliance
Windows roll down
Yeah, we've got the timing
Right down to a science
Right down to a science
The lyrics to Allie X's song Science depict a romantic relationship between two people who feel deeply connected to each other. The first verse talks about the couple's journey to a restaurant, with the singer admiring the comet-filled sky and the beauty of the night. The chorus highlights the pair's strong bond, as they let go of everything else and simply exist in the moment, trusting each other completely. The second verse furthers this idea, describing the couple's effortless synchronicity as they get lost in each other's company. The bridge emphasizes the couple's uniqueness and how they are different from the rest of the world, describing them as brighter than a socialite in the dark.
