Born to Jamaican immigrant parents, Skye found initial fame in Tumblr and began her musical career with the release of her debut mixtape Skye High in 2012. This led to Skye being signed to Atlantic Records, with her debut EP Everyday Living being released the next year. In 2014, Skye's breakthrough single "Collide" was released, featuring the rapper Tyga and being produced by DJ Mustard. 2015 saw the release of Skye's sophomore EP Emotionally Unavailable, which was her last release under Atlantic before leaving the label in 2016, signing to Roc Nation and Republic Records. Later that year in December, Skye released her third EP 8 Ounces to positive reviews.

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.

When You're Ready
Justine Skye Lyrics

Why's it always me, who's on the losing side?
Thought they said that love was free
But I know I'll pay the price, once or twice
So don't run, run, run
If there's a problem, I know we'll solve it
I know you'll solve it
I-I-I know, it's all about timing
Nobody has the answers

In your mind and your soul

You know your right from wrong
I don't want you to think you're all alone
Let's keep it natural, open doors, never close
Promise to set it free

I'll still wait for you (you)
Even though sometimes, it feels like we're giving up
Still stay for you (you)
Ain't had nobody give you this kinda love
Feels strange for you (you)
We fight, then we kiss, and then we make love
But I'm still made for you (you)
At the end of the day, don't wanna wake up without me

Mm, baby
Wanna know the words to say
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh-whoa

(Ooh) wait, wait
Baby, don't run away, yeah-ayy
I don't know what to say, yeah
That'll just make you stay
(Ooh) wait, wait
Baby, don't run away-ayy-ayy
I don't know what to say, yeah, yeah
That'll make you stay (make you stay)

In your mind and your soul
You know your right from wrong
I don't want you to think you're all alone
Let's keep it natural, open doors, never close
Promise to set it free

I'll still wait for you (you)
Even though sometimes, it feels like we're giving up
Still stay for you (you)
Ain't had nobody give you this kinda love
Feels strange for you (you)
We fight, then we kiss, and then we make love
But I'm still made for you (you)
At the end of the day, don't wanna wake up without me
