Her debut album Ultraviolet was released on January 18, 2018, featuring the singles "U Don't Know" featuring Wizkid, "Back for More" featuring Jeremih, and "Don't Think About It". The album peaked at number 16 on the R&B Album Sales chart. Skye would release her fourth EP Bare With Me the following year in August 2019. The EP was later expanded as a full-length/deluxe album, with 4 bonus tracks.
Skye's third album Space + Time, executive produced by Timbaland, was released in June 2021, featuring guest appearances from Justin Timberlake & Rema. The following year, Skye's 2014 single "Collide" experienced a resurgence via the social media app TikTok, as it started to become a popular audio on the app. This led her to officially release the sped-up remix of the song, capitalising off the song's success. In January 2023, Skye would release the compilation album DARKSIDE, which took songs from both Bare With Me and Space + Time, while adding the original version of "Collide", as well as a newly-recorded solo version without Tyga and the previously released sped-up remix.

My phone stay in my bag
I'ma have to call you back
When I'm done throwing it back, back
I work so hard, so I can throw this cash
And I'ma make it all right back
This got me up in my bag, yeah
Look at us, ooh we bragging
Look at me kill this fashion
And I ain't gon' let up
Know these bitches mad at me soon as they get up
Know your man looking at my page when he get up
Know the cash, hit the bank when the phone lit up
All action, no gas
Big talk, big facts
I got the plug, got him fast
I know I ain't picking up on your calls or your FaceTime
When I feel like that
When the night's long, and the sun way back, yeah
There's no limit to me, yeah
When I'm in my bag
My phone stay in my bag
I'ma have to call you back
When I'm done throwing it back, back
I work so hard, so I can throw this cash
And I'ma make it all right back
But tonight I'm in the mood to
Pop that pussy, I'ma shake that ass

If you was authentic
Would have said it with your chest if you meant it
And your nigga left, but you still won't admit it
Now I'm like mm-hmm, boy he can get it
All action, no gas
Big talk, big facts

And I'm lit up in your city

The lyrics of Justine Skye’s “In My Bag” explore a common theme in rap and hip-hop music – that of social dominance or superiority. Skye seems to be addressing anyone who might be envious of her wealth and status in the entertainment world, telling them that she’s “in her bag,” meaning she’s achieved a level of success that allows her to live the life she wants. She goes on to describe her extravagant lifestyle, boasting of her new G-wagon and her penchant for designer fashion. The chorus sees Skye explaining her tendency to have her phone in her bag and tell people she’ll call them back. The reason being she’s focused on “throwing it back” and earning more money.
The second verse sees Skye further touching on her success and how it’s not something that has come easy. She describes how she’s worked hard to achieve her current status and is not about to relent easily. She also calls out a lady for being fake and also her ex-boyfriend, asking him to come back to her and have a good time. The song ends with Skye repeating the hook twice again, emphasizing her financial dominance and ability to make back any money she might throw.
Overall, “In My Bag” represents Skye’s confidence and how she has become a female powerplayer in the rap world. As she boasts and brags about her wealth and lifestyle, she also acknowledges the hard work she put in to achieve success.

When I'm in my bag
When I'm feeling confident and successful
My phone stay in my bag
I'm too focused and busy to answer calls or texts
I'ma have to call you back
I'll get back to you later, when I have time
When I'm done throwing it back, back
When I'm finished dancing and being the center of attention
I work so hard, so I can throw this cash
I earned this money with my hard work, so I can spend it however I want
And I'ma make it all right back
I'm confident in my ability to earn more money
But tonight I'm in the mood to
But for this night, I want to
Pop that pussy, I'ma shake that ass
Dance in a sexually suggestive way
Have a good time, I'ma throw this cash
Enjoy myself and spend my money on whatever I want
And I'ma make it right back, yuh
And I'm confident I can earn back any money I spend
All action, no gas
I'm making moves and taking action, without hesitation or doubt
Big talk, big facts
I say what I mean, and I mean what I say
Got the plug, got him fast
I have connections and can get what I want quickly
There's no limit to me, yeah
I believe there are no boundaries to what I can achieve
If you're mad let me know
If you have a problem with me, speak up
Showing them how it go, go
Demonstrating how I do things and how successful I am
Bitch, you should do more
You should work harder and achieve more like me
Make it right back
Earn back any money I spend

awesome fun video and girl's vibe is hot af, but there's a difference between the life of an "independent artist" and someone who has Timbaland producing for them and a SONY publishing deal which this youtube video states she has... don't know the exact details, but yeah... big difference! <3
