They moved to New York to study theatre at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Their original plan was to pursue a career on Broadway, but they soon changed their mind and returned to music. After moving to Atlanta, Georgia in 2003, Monáe founded the Wondaland Arts Society with like-minded young artists, and made a couple of appearances on OutKast's 2006 album Idlewild, where they are featured on the songs "Call the Law" and "In Your Dreams".
By 2007, Monáe was ready to release her first solo work, titled Metropolis. It was originally conceived as a concept album in four parts, or suites, which were to be released through her website and mp3 download sites. After the release of the first part of the series, Metropolis Suite I of IV: The Chase in mid-2007, these plans were altered following them signing with Sean "Diddy" Combs' label, Bad Boy Records, later in the year. The label gave an official and physical release to the first suite in August 2008, which was retitled Metropolis: The Chase Suite (Special Edition) and included two new tracks. The EP was generally well-received by critics, gaining Monáe a 2009 Grammy nomination in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance for their single "Many Moons", festival appearances, and opening slots for the indie pop band Of Montreal. Monáe also toured as the opening act for band No Doubt on their summer 2009 tour.
In a November 2009 interview, Monáe revealed the title and concept behind her album The ArchAndroid. The second and third suites of Metropolis are combined into this full-length release, in which Monáe's alter-ego, Cindi Mayweather - also the protagonist of Metropolis: The Chase Suite - becomes a messiah-like figure to the android community of Metropolis.

Haute
Janelle Monáe Lyrics
They say I look good
They say I look haute
They say I look pretty (pretty)
Can't tell me I'm not
I'm feelin' so sexy (so sexy)
Mm
I'm feelin' so sexy (so sexy)
Mm
A bitch look good
A bitch look haute
A bitch look pretty
A bitch look handsome
I'm feelin' so sexy (so sexy)
Mm
I'm feelin' so sexy (so sexy)
Mm
This is that wake up and look in the mirror like
Yes, I'm feeling sexy
If I keep on giving 'em looks that could kill
They gon' have to come and arrest me
Rolling around with my besties
Skin looking good 'cause we stress free
Let's make a toast at the Matignon
To muhfuckas keepin' it fancy
I'm raising the bar
They giving me stars
They think I'm supreme
They say I look better
Than David Bowie
In a MoonAge Dream
They keep on me gassin' me up
I'm smoking a pack of that loud
Ain't seen me like this in a while
I'm young and I'm black and I'm wild
A bitch look good
A bitch look haute
A bitch look pretty
A bitch look handsome
I'm feelin' so sexy (so sexy)
Mm
I'm feelin' so sexy (so sexy)
Mm
They say I look good (a bitch look good)
They say I look haute (a bitch look haute)
They say I look pretty (a bitch look pretty)

The world calls her “good looking, hot, pretty” and she’s like hell yeah. But when she describes herself, she adds on “handsome”. People may see her as femme-presenting but it doesn’t change the multi-dimensional way she sees herself. I love these lyrical subtleties about the queer experience ❤️
@YokaiEnthusiast
As someone who refers to themselves as handsome and glows from the inside when someone else calls me that... it's my favourite line of the song. Janelle sees me.
