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.

Justine Skye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knocking on your ribs
Underneath your skin
Boy let me in
Where you wanna go?
London, Tokyo?
I need you to know
That I'm all in
And only you and me can understand it
Knocking on your ribsa
Baby let me in, yeah
Tell me if you're rocking
We can ride, we can roll away
There ain't
Nothing that can stop us
No, no, no
I can feel the danger inside
But it makes me feel so alive
I'm driving in the fast lane
Going insane with you
Tell me would you let it fall down, oh
Tell me would you let it fall
Tell me would you let it all go
Tell me, tell me would you let it all go
Oh no
Would you open up you heart in front of me baby
Promise I will protect it
But you gotta let it all go
But you gotta let it all, go, oh
Open up your heart
Knocking on your ribs
Underneath your skin
Boy let me in
Where you wanna go?
London, Tokyo?
I need you to know
That I'm all in
We don't need nobody on this planet
And only you and me can understand it
Knocking on your ribs
Baby let me in, yeah
Tell me if you're rocking
We can ride, we can roll away
There ain't nothing that can stop us
No, no, no
I can feel the danger inside
But it makes me feel so alive
I'm driving in the fast lane
Going insane with you
Tell me would you let it fall down, oh
Tell me would you let it fall
Tell me would you let it all go
Tell me, tell me would you let it all go
Oh no
Would you open up you heart in front of me baby
Promise I will protect it
But you gotta let it all go
But you gotta let it all, go, oh
The lyrics to Justine Skye's song Utopia speak of the desire to be close to someone and to experience a deep and authentic connection with them. The song opens with the line "Open up your heart, knocking on your ribs, underneath your skin, boy let me in", which suggests a longing to be allowed into someone's inner world, to truly know and understand them. This invitation is then followed by the question "Where you wanna go? London, Tokyo?" which highlights the idea that the desire for connection is not necessarily tied to a particular place or environment, but rather to a shared experience with another person.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that the connection between the two individuals is so strong that it can exist independently of anyone or anything else. The lyrics state "We don't need nobody on this planet, and only you and me can understand it", which speaks to the idea that the bond between the two of them is unique and special, and cannot be replicated or replaced by anyone else.
The song then goes on to explore the fear and excitement that come with such a deep connection, with lyrics like "I can feel the danger inside, but it makes me feel so alive". Ultimately, the song ends with the plea to "open up your heart in front of me baby, promise I will protect it, but you gotta let it all go", which emphasizes the need for vulnerability and trust in order to truly connect with someone else.
