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.

Made the decision to leave you behind
You say you've changed and you're sorry
But I don't wanna know
So give me something I can hold
That I can trust and call my own
That won't run out and leave me cold
Won't leave me hanging out to dry
Won't fuck me over, make me cry
Save your love and buy me diamonds
Save your love and buy me diamonds
Give me something I can hold
That I can trust and call my own
That won't run out and leave me cold
Save your love and buy me diamonds
You know that you can't live without me
Got caught in the game that you play with my mind
Keep saying you've changed and you're sorry
But I don't wanna know
So give me something I can hold
That I can trust and call my own
That won't run out and leave me cold
Give me something that won't tell me lies
Won't leave me hanging out to dry
Won't fuck me over, make me cry
Save your love and buy me diamonds
Save your love and buy me diamonds
Give me something I can hold
That I can trust and call my own
That won't run out and leave me cold
Save your love and buy me diamonds
You tried to take my light
Took me so long to find it
I'm moving on tonight
Movin' on with my life
You tried to take my light
Took me so long to find it
I'm moving on tonight
Save your love and buy me diamonds
Save your love and buy me diamonds
Give me something I can hold
That I can trust and call my own
That won't run out and leave me cold
Save your love and buy me diamonds
You tried to take my light
Took me so long to find it
I'm moving on tonight
Movin' on with my life
You tried to take my light
Took me so long to find it
I'm moving on tonight
Save your love and buy me diamonds
The lyrics of "Buy Me Diamonds" by Bea Miller speak about a past relationship where the singer was made to feel unwanted and mistreated. She has moved on from this relationship but her ex-partner keeps trying to come back into her life, claiming that they have changed and are sorry. However, the singer is skeptical and does not want to hear it anymore. Instead of making promises that will most likely be broken, she asks for something tangible, something that won't deceive her, a diamond. She wants something she can hold on to, something that won't leave her cold, a symbol of the love that her ex-partner claims he has for her.
The word "diamonds" may seem like a shallow request, but the song makes it clear that the singer's previous partner failed to give her something that lasted, leaving her emotionally drained and unhappy. The line "Give me something that won't tell me lies, won't leave me hanging out to dry, won't fuck me over, make me cry" underscores the sentiment that the singer no longer wants to be strung along by empty words and false promises. She wants something that will prove that her ex-partner is serious about treating her with respect and dignity.
Overall, "Buy Me Diamonds" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has been in a toxic relationship and has finally decided to move on. It shows the importance of tangible expressions of love rather than just empty words. The song is a plea for honesty and trust, and a reminder that no one should ever settle for less.
