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.

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.

Bea Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I'll burn all my clothes
Standing in the bathroom, singing alone
I don't even like this song
Rolling up, getting comfortable
I've been drinking kitchen
Table coffee alone can never get high enough
Rain cries i don't wanna go outside
Can’t think of other ways I
Wanna waste my time
All I do is fuck around with words that rhyme
I wish I didn't wonder why, I wonder why
Why I
It doesn't even matter all the things I say
When nobody is listening to me anyway
I don't even like my friends tonight
I must be out of my mind
I don't wanna go outside
I walk my dog, but never too far from home
'Cause I need to make it back
To watch That '70s Show
I lay around on the floor i hate my phone
'Cause it reminds me that I'm alone
I got people calling me
But I let them know that I'm unavailable
Paint dries like my tired eyes
Rain cries i don't wanna go outside
Can’t think of other ways I
Wanna waste my time
All I do is fuck around with words that rhyme
I wish I didn't wonder why, I wonder why
Why I
It doesn't even matter all the things I say
When nobody is listening to me anyway
I don't even like my friends tonight
I must be out of my mind
I might be standing still as I can be
But my mind keeps running and
Running in circles around me
I might be waiting an eternity
While my mind keeps running and
Running in circles around me
Can’t think of other ways I
Wanna waste my time
All I do is fuck around with words that rhyme
I wish I didn't wonder why, I wonder why
Why I
It doesn't even matter all the things I say
When nobody is listening to me anyway
I don't even like my friends tonight
I must be out of my mind
I might be standing still as I can be
But my mind keeps running and
Running in circles around me
In Bea Miller's song "outside," the lyrics express a sense of boredom, restlessness, and dissatisfaction with one's current state of being. The opening lines of the song convey a feeling of ennui and a desire to break free from the monotony of everyday life. The singer considers burning all their clothes and sings alone in the bathroom, highlighting a sense of isolation or disconnection. They express a lack of interest in the song they're singing, perhaps reflecting a general apathy or lack of passion.
The lyrics also touch upon the singer's attempts to find comfort or escape through various means. They mention drinking coffee alone at the kitchen table and highlight a longing to feel high or find some form of release. The refrain of "rain cries, I don't wanna go outside" suggests a reluctance to face the outside world, possibly due to discontent or a desire to avoid confronting personal issues.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's feelings of detachment. They engage in activities such as walking their dog but never venturing too far from home, as if clinging to familiarity. They express a dislike of their phone, which serves as a reminder of their loneliness. Despite people calling, they choose to remain unavailable, suggesting a desire for solitude or an inability to connect with others.
The bridge of the song introduces a shift in perspective. The lyrics suggest that although the singer may appear still externally, their mind is running in circles, causing a sense of restlessness and frustration. The repetition of "running and running in circles around me" emphasizes their internal struggle and the feeling of being trapped in their thoughts.
Overall, "outside" captures the themes of boredom, isolation, and a longing for something more. The lyrics reflect a sense of disconnect from oneself and others, as well as a yearning to break free from the confines of routine and find a deeper sense of meaning.
