Before entering the charts, Doolittle toured the UK with her band to gain recognition.

The first release from Doolittle is a self-titled EP that features four tracks Rollerblades, Moneybox, Police Car and Go Home. This was released on 29 November 2009. Tracks from the EP were remixed by Plastic Little ('Rollerblades'), Sam Young and Jamie xx from The xx ('Money Box'). The EP received radio plays from Rob Da Bank, Nick Grimshaw, Fearne Cotton and Jo Whiley.
Her debut single Skinny Genes was released on 12 April 2010. The song had featured in a television advert for an online retailer. She told BBC's Steve Lamacq the song is "a funny scenario if you didn’t like someone, if they were really annoying, but you had a good time under the sheets." Doolittle's second release is entitled Pack Up and released on 5 July 2010, debuting at #12 on the Official UK Singles Chart on 11 July 2010.

You & Me
Eliza Doolittle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Home is where the heart is
And I gave it to you in a paper bag
Even though it's tarnished
You told me it's the best you ever had
You got my secret combination
And I don't be giving that out easily
You can tell that you were brought the same for me
So please don't let go
'Cause you know
Exactly what we found
So please don't let go
My darling
You keep me hooked up underground
It's gonna be you
And me
It's gonna be everything you've ever dreamed
It's gonna be who
And me
It's gonna be everything and everything, we're meant to be
We're meant to be
Rolling with the punches
So they won't get inside our happiness
Love is always hunted
But you're white rose is soaring through my tear
'Cause you know you give me something
Yeah you give me exactly what I need
Got my blood pumping
You know you always draw more blood, I bleed
So please don't let go
'Cause you know
Exactly what we found
So please don't let go
My darling
You keep me hooked up underground
It's gonna be you
And me
It's gonna be everything you've ever dreamed
It's gonna be who
And me
It's gonna be everything and everything, we're meant to be
In you're big house on the hills
Where you keep your dollar bills
And you stashed my heart somewhere in the dark
Keep it safe I know you will
Know you will, know you will, know you will
I know you will

Home is where the heart is
And I gave it to you in a paper bag
Even though it’s tarnished
You told me it’s the best you ever had
You got my secret combination
And I don’t be giving that out easily

You can tell that you were brought the same for me
So please don’t let go, cause you know exactly what we found
So please don’t let go my darling
You keep me locked up underground

But your arrows are soaring through my chest
Cause you know you give me something
Yeah you give me exactly what I need
Got my blood pumping
You know you own this drop of blood I bleed
So please don’t let go, cause you know exactly what we found
So please don’t let go my darling
You keep me locked up underground
