After leaving The X Factor, Miller signed a recording deal with Hollywood Records/Syco Music and began work on an album. Following an initial five-song EP, she delivered her 2015 full-length debut album, Not an Apology, which featured production from the Suspex, Mike Del Rio, Matt Squire, and others. The album peaked at number seven on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, and featured the singles "Young Blood" and "Fire N Gold." Spring 2016 brought a new single titled "yes girl," which featured heavily in her live sets that summer.
The following winter, Miller teased the release of her sophomore full-length album, aurora, by issuing the first of an intended trilogy of EPs beginning with chapter one: blue in February 2017. chapter two: red and chapter three: yellow followed during the summer. In February 2018 she delivered aurora, which compiled all three of her trilogy EPs plus 5 additional tracks, including the single "mother." Miller was also featured on NOTD single titled "I Wanna Know", which became their biggest hit to date.
During 2019, Miller released a number of singles that were originally intended for her third studio album, which was named 'sunsets in outerspace,' however in July 2020, Miller confirmed her third album wouldn't come until 2021 earliest and the whole space theme has 'run its course.' The first single released was, it's not u it's me with 6LACK, on March 1st, 2019. Bea released 4 other singles throughout 2019, feel something, feels like home (with Jessie Reyez), never gonna like you (with Snakehips) and that bitch. She also embarked on two tours supporting her 2019 singles, nice to meet u which began in North America on April 29th, 2019 and concluded May 18th, 2019. She also embarked on the sunsets in outerspace tour starting in London on September 23rd, 2019 and concluding in LA on November 30th, 2019.
During the coronavirus pandemic, Miller confirmed she will not release a full studio album in 2020 but will release an EP of 6 new songs, after scrapping the space theme and previous singles.
I Dare You
Bea Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When even my shadow wouldn't follow me
So I, I, I'm picking up my sword
To shatter all the pieces that I was before
'Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
For, for, for
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down, no, oh, oh
Throw away the key
I dare you, oh, oh
And I won't let you tear me down, no
I had an opinion, but I never spoke my mind
And I wouldn't argue, even when I knew I was right
But I'm not that girl anymore
Yeah, I lost the battle but I won the war
'Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
For, for, for
So put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down, no, oh, oh
Throw away the key
I dare you, oh, oh
And I won't let you tear me down, no
I just kept on running, running, running
Trying to find out who I was
I would go the distance but it wasn't far enough
But now I'm standing straight and know exactly who I am
Yeah, yeah
I can remember a time when I was so afraid
Put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down, no, oh, oh
Throw away the key
I dare you, oh, oh
And I won't let you tear me down, no
In the song "I Dare You" by Bea Miller, the singer speaks about a time when she was afraid and could not even face her own shadow. However, she has now picked up her sword and is ready to shatter all the pieces of her past self. The lyrics state that she is worth fighting for, and she is not afraid to stand up for herself anymore. The singer dares anyone to try to put her in a cage or lock her in a room and throw away the key because she is not going to let anyone tear her down. She asserts that she will break down the walls with a higher wrecking ball, which reinforces her determination to be free of any constraints. The song then speaks on how she had an opinion but never spoke her mind or argued, even when she knew she was right. However, she is not that girl anymore, and even though she lost the battle, she won the war. The song delivers a powerful message of empowerment and self-love.

I can remember a time when I was so afraid
There was a time when I was extremely scared
When even my shadow wouldn't follow me
I was so frightened that I couldn't even bear the sight of my own shadow
So I, I, I'm picking up my sword
I am getting ready to fight
To shatter all the pieces that I was before
I am going to break down and destroy the old version of myself
'Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
I believe that I am valuable and worth a fight
For, for, for
For sure, definitely
So put me in a cage
You can try to imprison me
Lock me in a room
You can try to trap me
Throw away the key
You can try to make it impossible for me to escape
I dare you
But I am not afraid of your challenge
I'll break down the walls
I will destroy the barriers you put up
A higher wrecking ball
I will use more force than you expect to demolish what you built
And I won't let you tear me down, no, oh, oh
I will not allow you to destroy me, no matter what
And I won't let you tear me down, no
I will emerge victorious in this battle
I had an opinion, but I never spoke my mind
I used to have thoughts but was afraid to share them
And I wouldn't argue, even when I knew I was right
I didn't even stand up for myself when I knew I was correct
But I'm not that girl anymore
I have changed and will not let others keep me quiet
Yeah, I lost the battle but I won the war
I may have lost some battles, but I have emerged victorious in the end
I just kept on running, running, running
I kept searching for answers
Trying to find out who I was
Trying to discover my true identity
I would go the distance but it wasn't far enough
I kept trying but hadn't gone far enough to achieve my goal
But now I'm standing straight and know exactly who I am
Now, I am confident and know exactly who I am
Put me in a cage
I'm ready for any challenge
And I won't let you tear me down, no
I will stand strong and refuse to be defeated
I dare you, oh, oh
I am daring you to try and take me down
