As an infant, Brown began to sing the alphabet immediately after learning it and began performing at the age of 3 upon receiving her first karaoke machine. As a child, Brown began to regularly perform in school plays and beauty pageants while taking voice lessons and piano study. She was also involved with 'Janoskian's member Luke Brooks.
In 2011, Brown's mother discovered Kidz Bop, a website for kids to upload and share videos of themselves performing. She uploaded a video of Brown performing an original number on the piano, with Brown selected as a finalist. After performing Adele's "Someone Like You" to earn her a place in the Top 4, Brown won the 2011 KIDZ Star USA Grand Prize out of 45,000 submissions, the largest national talent competition for kids age 15 and under.[1]
At a school assembly, Brown was told that she won the national talent search by "American Idol" winner Kris Allen. The prize included a RCA Records recording contract and starring role in the Kidz Bop 21 music video and commercial. Allen said after seeing her live, "She went from 'She's good' to 'She is no doubt gonna win this thing."[2]
Brown said she had the opportunity to listen to and select from her top three song choices. After considering and listening to the songs, she said she chose her first single “Hey Chica” because of the up-beat tempo. The song was released June 19, 2012.[3] Brown has performed the song on The Today Show and 86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She also performed "Do the mermaid" from Barbie in A Mermaid Tale 2.
In 2012, Brown was named cover girl for Miss Moxie's Holiday 2012 issue.[4] The site praised "Hey Chica" for promoting "clear message of self empowerment and encourages young women to feel beautiful in their own skin."
In 2016, Brown was cast in the series regular role as Zoe Vaughn on the second season of MTV's Scream.
EX
Kiana Ledé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We went from 2 AM calls to zero communication, yeah
We spent too long in heaven that
We felt the elevation
Just 'cause it's different and we're not the same
Doesn't mean things have to change
I got no trouble with my pride, got trouble cutting ties
We way too good at being friends
Can we still hangout
On the low, get wild
I don't wanna be your, I don't wanna be your
Hit ya girl up with a text, when you're alone and feeling stressed
I don't gotta be in love with you, to love you
I don't wanna be your, so don't treat me like your
E-e-e-e, e-e-ex
I don't want to be your
E-e-e-e, e-e-ex
Let's skip the awkward run-ins, or
Pretending like we're strangers
And get back to how we started, yeah
Don't pour water on fire
Just 'cause it's different and we're not the same
Doesn't mean things have to change
I got no trouble with my pride, got trouble cutting ties
I don't wanna be your ex
We way too good at being friends
Can we still hangout
On the low, get wild

In "EX", Kiana Ledé talks about a relationship that ended but she doesn't want to be just the "ex" and lose the friendship that they built. She sings about how they went from staying up late at night talking to zero communication, and how they spent too long in heaven that they felt the elevation. She doesn't want things to change just because things are different now, and although she has no trouble with her pride, cutting ties is not easy for her. Instead, she suggests that they skip the awkwardness and act like they did at the beginning of their relationship as friends. Kiana emphasizes that just because they're not in love anymore, it doesn't mean that she doesn't still care and want to be there for the person.
The song is about the desire to keep a close relationship with an ex-partner after the romantic part of the relationship ends. It talks about wanting to maintain the good things they had, like the friendship, even if they can’t have the romance, and not wanting to lose the connection completely. "EX" has a mellow vibe, and it is complemented by Kiana's smooth, sultry voice. The song is relatable and has become popular to people going through breakups as it represents a desire for a relationship’s ending not to mean the end of everything.

Hey, yeah
We done came too far for this, I'm so tired of arguing
It's too late for X and O's, I don't want no part in this
Whenever you get mad
I always leave and give you the silent treatment
You know in your heart, I'm decent
Everything you buy, you keep it
We can still be friends
If you don't get dumb and try to tell our secrets
I know one day, you'll see all the simple shit I tried to teach you
I know it get worse 'cause nowadays, I hardly ever greet you
It was nice to meet you
We went from 2 AM calls to zero communication, yeah
We spent too long in heaven that we felt the elevation
Just 'cause it's different and we're not the same
Doesn't mean things have to change
I got no trouble with my pride, got trouble cutting ties
I don't wanna be your ex, we're way too good at being friends
Can we still hangout on the low, get wild?
I don't wanna be your, I don't wanna be your
