In 2017, a family friend showed Rogers' cover on YouTube to production duo The Stereotypes, which led them to working together. Rogers subsequently spent one weekend a month in Los Angeles to work on music with them for two years. She signed with their label in February 2018 and RCA Records in November. Her music influences are Justin Bieber, H.E.R., Kehlani, and Billie Eilish.
On February 28, 2019, Rogers released her debut single "Tomboy," following recording in mid-2018. Lyrically, the song is about "defying expectations" and inspiring women to be confident. A music video was filmed in Rogers' hometown with footage of her skateboarding and was released with the song. Professional skater, Mariah Duran, also flew out to appear in the video. Rogers performed at the 2019 South by Southwest and 2019 Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival. In the fall of 2019, she opened for singer Ruel on his Free Time Tour in North America. In December 2019, Rogers participated in a songwriting camp with Alicia Keys. On May 29, 2020, Rogers released her second EP titled Great Escape. The EP was led by singles "Kickin' Pushin'" and "Euphoria."
Singer Lisa from K-Pop group Blackpink released a choreographed music video for "Tomboy" which boosted the song through streaming. The attention prompted Rogers to release a remix of the song with rapper Coi Leray and a new music video in April 2021. In May 2021, Rogers released a single and music video titled "West Like" featuring Kalan.FrFr and a joint single called "Got It Like That" with B.I and Tyla Yaweh.
Rogers co-wrote the track "All or Nothing" on K-Pop singer Nayeon's debut solo project Im Nayeon released on June 24, 2022. On August 18, 2022 Rogers was featured in the remix of Thuy's song "In My Bag". Rogers appeared on James Reid's album Lovescene in the song "Lie to Me." The accompanying music video was filmed in Manila, Philippines and was released on November 16, 2022. Rogers stated near the end of 2022 that she left RCA Records.
Euphoria
Destiny Rogers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got me talking to myself almost every night
I just wanna feel a high not to satisfy
You'll be stressing me, you'll be stressing me
Wanna fall in, let it go
Let it all out, let you know
All these black clouds, they too close
Every step I take, I tend to take, I take it slowly
Suck at being open, these emotions make me OD
Fear of losing you if I speak up, I wanna know me
Don't even know me, yeah
I can't even lie, I can't even lie
I don't wanna think, always feeling so dumb
Something on your mind, get it off your mind
Take me to euphoria, euphoria
I can't even lie, I can't even lie
I don't wanna think, overthinking, so dumb
Something on your mind, get it off your mind
Take me to euphoria, euphoria
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh, yeah
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Take me to euphoria, euphoria
I don't like pressure like this
Been so long since I felt like this, yeah
If I don't do this now, I might quit
I'm just hella, hella scared of it, yeah
'Cause with you, baby, I'm a addict to your magic
Ooh, baby, gotta have it, it's a habit
Ooh, take me to your planet, take me into your world
Every step I take, I tend to take, I take it slowly
Suck at being open, these emotions make me OD
Fear of losing you if I speak up, I wanna know me
Don't even know me, yeah
I can't even lie, I can't even lie
I don't wanna think, always feeling so dumb
Something on your mind, get it off your mind
Take me to euphoria, euphoria
I can't even lie, I can't even lie
I don't wanna think, overthinking, so dumb
Something on your mind, get it off your mind
Take me to euphoria, euphoria
Euphoria
Take me to your world
Euphoria
I can't even lie, I can't even lie
I don't wanna think, always feeling so dumb
Something on your mind, get it off your mind
Take me to euphoria, euphoria
I can't even lie, I can't even lie
I don't wanna think, overthinking, so dumb
Something on your mind, get it off your mind
Take me to euphoria, euphoria
Ooh, would you take me with you, babe
Take me with you
Destiny Rogers's song Euphoria is about the struggles of dealing with overwhelming emotions and the desire to escape from them. The lyrics express the singer's frustration with constantly feeling anxious and uncertain about her relationship with someone. She feels like she cannot express herself openly because she might risk losing the person she cares about. Instead, she turns to a temporary escape, seeking a euphoric feeling to ease her anxiety. She knows that her actions are not healthy or sustainable, but she cannot help herself. The final lines of the song reveal that she wants to be taken away by the person whom she is addicted to, and hopes that they can provide her with a permanent sense of euphoria.
