By 2017, several of Cutler's songs (including "Your Shirt") garnered numerous streams and led to collaborations that year with acts like Louis The Child ("Slow Down Love"), ayokay ("The Shine"), Kidswaste ("Tonight"), and Kasbo ("Found You"). She signed a record deal with Ultra Records in late 2017 and released her first EP, "Snow In October". After touring with Quinn XCII in early 2018, Cutler released two independent mixtapes, "Sleeping With Roses" and "Sleeping With Roses II." She also went on her first two nationwide headlining tours in support of each mixtape, both of which sold out in advance.
In March 2019, she signed to Republic Records and released a joint EP, "brent", with friend and label-mate Jeremy Zucker shortly after. The EP features the single "you were good to me", which they performed live on The Today Show. It was also pressed on a limited edition white vinyl through the retailer Urban Outfitters. It was limited to a run of 1000 copies pressed. In May 2019, Cutler collaborated with Kygo on the single, "Not OK". It became her third collaboration (after "Slow Down Love" and "The Shine") to appear on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart, peaking at number 9.
In late 2019, Cutler began releasing new singles, including "How To Be Human" and "Lucky" (featuring Alexander 23). Along with "Sad Tonight", the songs served as the primary singles for her debut studio album, How To Be Human, released on January 17, 2020 by Republic Records. On January 23, 2020 she performed the lead single, "Sad Tonight", on Late Night With Seth Meyers. That song became Cutler's first entry on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart, peaking at number 32 in March 2020. In April 2020, she was featured alongside Quinn XCII on the Louis The Child track, "Little Things".
Cutler was also slated to perform at Coachella 2020, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2020, she released a version of her song "Crazier Things" which features Noah Kahan.

Under
Chelsea Cutler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And show me all of your seasons, oh yeah
Come in my bed and hold me
Walk through my fire and coal, oh baby, yeah
We always make excuses
To find a good love and lose it
But I don't wanna run
Don't want no one else
I'll die by myself before I ever love another
Safe to say, I'm done
You're the only one I know will ever take me under, under, under
Turn my dreams into moments
And cast me out through the ocean, oh yeah
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
Saw diamonds in my nothing
And made me who I'm becomin', baby, yeah
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
We always learn the hard way
Sometimes the good love don't stay
But I don't wanna run
Anywhere you go, I go too
Don't want no one else
I'll die by myself before I ever love another
(Another, baby, another, baby)
Safe to say, I'm done (I'm done)
You're the only one I know will ever take me under, under
(Under, under)
We always make excuses
To find a good love and lose it
But I don't wanna run
Anywhere you go, follow you
Don't want no one else
I'll die by myself before I ever love another
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Safe to say, I'm done (I'm done, I'm done)
You're the only one I know will ever take me under
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah) under
Under (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
The lyrics to Chelsea Cutler's song "Under" convey a sense of deep emotional attachment and vulnerability in a romantic relationship. The opening lines, "Talk to me like you mean it / And show me all of your seasons," suggest the desire for genuine communication and a willingness to explore the depths of each other's emotions. The mention of being in bed together and going through fire and coal implies a metaphorical journey through both difficult and intimate experiences as a couple.
The chorus reflects a strong commitment and loyalty to the relationship, with the lines, "Don't want no one else / I'll die by myself before I ever love another." It emphasizes a willingness to sacrifice personal happiness for the sake of staying true to this particular connection. The phrase "take me under" suggests a willingness to be vulnerable and fully submerged in the relationship, even if it may bring pain or difficulties.
The second verse continues to explore the complexities of love. Lines like "Turn my dreams into moments" and "Saw diamonds in my nothing" highlight the transformative power of the relationship. The reference to learning the hard way indicates that the couple has faced challenges and the potential for love to fade away, but the desire to stay united and committed remains strong.
In the bridge, the repetition of "I don't wanna run" and "Anywhere you go, I go too" further emphasizes the desire to remain connected and dedicated to the relationship, even when faced with the temptation to walk away. The song ends with a reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the belief that this person is the only one who can truly understand and embrace the singer's vulnerability.
Overall, "Under" reveals a deep emotional connection, a willingness to sacrifice, and a powerful declaration of commitment to one specific person despite the challenges and uncertainties that love may bring.
