Her self-titled debut album, earned her two Juno Award nominations. Her second album Sunday Love was not released due to the album's singles failure to chart and she was dropped from her record label. (Sunday Love become an underground sensation when it leaked on the Internet.)

Dobson co-wrote Miley Cyrus' single "Start All Over" and in 2010 she released her third studio album "Joy".

Dobson was discovered and signed by Jive Records in 2000. The record label wanted to give her a traditional pop star image. Dobson, however, wanted more guitar and to include some of her own written songs. Jive rejected the idea, so she left the record company. She found herself singing in a Toronto bar at 8:30 in the morning. It turned out a CEO at The Island Def Jam Music Group was in the bar that very morning. He wanted to sign her. They signed her up on the wrong lyrics. She sang her song "Stupid Little Love Song" and what the people thought she sang was "Stupid Little Buzz Saw" which they thought was "genius".

She met producer Jay Levine through Island Records and they began working on her music. “He just really let me be free. He found something in me that he really thought was special, it was just fate”. When in the recording studio, she hung up inspirational pictures of Kurt Cobain, Judy Garland, Coldplay, Jeff Buckley and the Vines, to help motivate her sound and to commemorate the artists who influenced her.

Dobson's self-titled debut album was released December 9, 2003 by Island Records and sold 307,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Four singles were released from the album; "Bye Bye Boyfriend," "Take Me Away", "Everything", and "Don't Let Me Fall". "Take Me Away" and "Everything" were used in the film The Perfect Score.

During much of 2004, Dobson promoted her debut album, appearing for a live performance on TRL and numerous magazine covers and articles. Dobson made an appearance on NBC's TV series American Dreams where she played the role of Tina Turner, covering the song "River Deep, Mountain High". She was also the opening act on Justin Timberlake's European tour. That July, she released a new single, "Don't Go (Girls and Boys)", which was also featured in a Tommy Hilfiger commercial starring the singer. The album was later reissued with that single added. Dobson also had a new song, "If You Walk Away", on the soundtrack of Raising Helen.

Dobson released "Truth Anthem" on the Much Dance 2005 CD compilation, a benefit for the Canadian branch of War Child. In April 2005, Dobson was nominated for two Juno Awards, Pop Album of the Year and New Artist of the Year; both categories were won by Avril Lavigne. In the summer of 2005, Dobson was in a public service ad "Make Poverty History", which brings awareness to child poverty worldwide.

I gave it all just for you
And you needed help for what you threw
And you think that you would remember
Paved your way
When you thought
You only remembered how to use me

One day, girls (ooh)

Oh, Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Oh, Right in the kissah

You blocked reality when you were here
And now you're gone and it's so much clear
When the girls walked by
You love me you would say
You hook up, you get caught
I'm in denial so I forgave you

One day, girls (ooh)
Oh, Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Oh, Right in the kissah

All I wanna know
Is what I've done to you
You think that I'm confused
And I'll just run to you
Whatever, whatever
I'll be fine [x6]
Back to you
(I think you should know)

One day, girls (ooh)
Oh, Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Oh, Right in the kissah

Now that you're gone
I finally see
My friends were right
You were wrong for me
You never controlled me
I gave you the control
This song's for you
I want you to know

I'll be fine [x14]
If you get what you deserve

One day, girls (ooh)
Oh, Right in the kissah
One day, girls (ooh)
Oh, Right in the kissah
(Just know that)

One day, (One day) girls (ooh)
Oh, Right in the kissah

One day, (One day) girls (ooh)
Oh, Right in the kissah

Line by Line Meaning

I gave it all just for you
I sacrificed everything for you

And you needed help for what you threw
You required aid for the mess you created

And you think that you would remember
You seem to believe that you would recall

Paved your way
I made things easy for you

When you thought
At the time you believed

You only remembered how to use me
You solely recollected how to manipulate me

One day, girls (ooh)
Someday, ladies

Oh, Right in the kissah
Directly on the lips

You blocked reality when you were here
You disregarded the truth when you were present

And now you're gone and it's so much clear
Now that you're absent, it's evident

When the girls walked by
When other women passed us
