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.

Only Have Eyes 42
Janelle Monáe Lyrics
I like to love with my eyes closed
I try not to lead with my ego
Everything happened in slow-mo
But we all smiled and said, "It's alright"
'Cause you're the one, you're the one
Double the fun, triple the time for love
You're the one, you're the one
You sucked the words from my tongue, that's when I knew
I only (I only)
I only (I only)
I only have eyes for two (I only have eyes for two)
I only (I only)
I only (I only)
I only have eyes for two (I only have eyes for two)
Remember we sipped from the same glass
Then she bit your neck and I liked that
We said some things we can't take back
I'm happy it's out in the open
'Cause you're the one, you're the one
Double the fun, triple the time for love
'Cause you're the one, you're the one
You sucked the words from my tongue, that's when I knew
I only (I only)
I only (I only)
I only have eyes for two (I only have eyes for two)
Oh, I only (I only)
I only (I only)
I only have eyes for two (I only have eyes for two)
Yeah, I only have eyes
Yeah, I only have eyes
For two
For two
Yeah, I only have eyes
Said I only have eyes
Said I only have eyes
I try not to lead with my ego
Everything happened in slow-mo
But we all smiled and said, "It's alright"
'Cause you're the one, you're the one
Double the fun, triple the time for love
You're the one, you're the one
You sucked the words from my tongue, that's when I knew
I only (I only)
I only have eyes for two (I only have eyes for two)
I only (I only)
I only (I only)
I only have eyes for two (I only have eyes for two)
Remember we sipped from the same glass
Then she bit your neck and I liked that
We said some things we can't take back
I'm happy it's out in the open
'Cause you're the one, you're the one
Double the fun, triple the time for love
'Cause you're the one, you're the one
You sucked the words from my tongue, that's when I knew
I only (I only)
I only (I only)
I only have eyes for two (I only have eyes for two)
Oh, I only (I only)
I only (I only)
I only have eyes for two (I only have eyes for two)
Yeah, I only have eyes
Yeah, I only have eyes
For two
For two
Yeah, I only have eyes
Said I only have eyes
Said I only have eyes
