Letissier released his debut full-length album as Christine and the Queens, Chaleur humaine, in 2014. An English language version of the album, titled Christine and the Queens, was released in 2016. Sophomore album Chris was released in September 2018 to universal acclaim.
Letissier has used numerous personal and stage names, and remarked that he "just ha many names for all the layers". He began his career as Christine and the Queens. For his second studio album, he shortened it to Chris, which was accompanied by a shift to a persona described as "a woman playing with masculine tropes". In October 2021, he was using the name Rahim. This sparked a debate around cultural appropriation due to the name's Arabic origin. He eventually began using a succession of different names such as Sam le pompier (the French title of Fireman Sam) and a full stop before settling on Redcar, sometimes shortened as Red. In August 2022, he updated his pronouns to he/him across social media platforms. In 2023, with the release of fourth album Paranoïa, Angels, True Love, he seemed to have reverted to simply Chris. However, he still occasionally uses his birth name, about which he said: "Héloïse Letissier is my parents' provenance and I love my parents. I sometimes use Héloïse to reconnect me to my childhood, but my inner child name is Manamané."

Christine and the Queens Lyrics
Here I am
Just laughing and talking with imaginary ghosts
Like it was
The four of us and we were out just having a smoke
Oh what a cruel little joke
I played on myself that night
Telling myself that you were
Telling myself you're alright
Alright
Dance with me we were gonna go all night
I said alright
Turn me around you decide to pick a fight
I said alright
You stormed off even though I was your ride
I said alright
I said alright
Falling on each other
Make it with each other
Never even thought of you
Hiding it with laughter
Thinking what could happen
But I never thought it through
And I can't call you at home anymore
Cause you have blocked me on your landline
Hey I saw you last week
Walking down the street with new friends
And I wished that I was one
But I blinked and you were
Dance with me we were gonna go all night
I said alright
Turn me around you decide to pick a fight
I said alright
Falling on each other
Make it with each other
Never even thought of you
Hiding it with laughter
Thinking what could happen
But I never thought it through
And I can't call you on the road anymore
Cause you have blocked me on your cell phone
And you
You'll be falling away now
I can't
Call you by name now
You'll be falling away now (falling away, falling away)
Too late to call out your name now (falling away, falling away)
You'll be falling away now (falling away)
Falling away
Just laughing and talking with imaginary ghosts
Like it was
The four of us and we were out just having a smoke
Oh what a cruel little joke
I played on myself that night
Telling myself that you were
Telling myself you're alright
Alright
Dance with me we were gonna go all night
Turn me around you decide to pick a fight
I said alright
You stormed off even though I was your ride
I said alright
I said alright
Falling on each other
Make it with each other
Never even thought of you
Hiding it with laughter
Thinking what could happen
But I never thought it through
And I can't call you at home anymore
Cause you have blocked me on your landline
Hey I saw you last week
Walking down the street with new friends
And I wished that I was one
But I blinked and you were
Dance with me we were gonna go all night
I said alright
Turn me around you decide to pick a fight
I said alright
Falling on each other
Make it with each other
Never even thought of you
Hiding it with laughter
Thinking what could happen
But I never thought it through
And I can't call you on the road anymore
Cause you have blocked me on your cell phone
And you
You'll be falling away now
I can't
Call you by name now
You'll be falling away now (falling away, falling away)
Too late to call out your name now (falling away, falling away)
You'll be falling away now (falling away)
Falling away
