Kitty began making music in 2010, which she shared via Tumblr. In 2011, she fronted the short-lived comedy hip-hop group Jokers in Trousers, and received recognition from rapper Riff Raff. The pair collaborated on a song, "Orion's Belt," in June 2012.

Between 2012 and 2014, Kitty released a string of extended plays. The first three—Haha, I’m Sorry (2012), D.A.I.S.Y. rage (2013), and impatiens (2014)—were predominantly hip-hop-based. In November 2014, Kitty declared that she was “over hip-hop”, and explored trance on the EP FROSTBITE.
In 2017, Kitty released her debut album, Miami Garden Club. The album was crowdfunded through a Kickstarter campaign in 2015. It saw Kitty shift to a new synthpop sound, and was inspired by '80s and '90s pop music. With this project, Kitty—formerly a rapper primarily—tried her hand at singing and music production.
Kitty’s second album, ROSE GOLD, was released in 2019. It was her first release to be entirely self-produced. The album reached number 9 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums charts.
In addition to her solo work, Kitty is also a member of the groups The Pom-Poms and Teen Suicide (the latter was known for a period of time as American Pleasure Club), alongside her husband Sam Ray (a.k.a. Ricky Eat Acid). Between 2016 and 2018, Kitty and Ray also collaborated on music under the names 56colors and Kit & Sam Ray.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(chorus)
i get shaken up, i just need my medicine and i'm good
so give me a second
i get shaken up, i just need my medicine and i'm good
so gimme a sec
under my tongue, i wanna stay and chill, i'm gonna wait until
i soak it up and i'm comfortably numb
you said you wanna feel like that? i'll be right back, right back
(chorus)
(verse 2)
when i see em i keep freezing up, and i speak in tongues
think i need to take a break in the back
when i just don't know what to say to them, well i take it then
don't you wanna throw your name in that hat? whoa
(chorus)
(verse 3)
it's at the bottom of my makeup bag, take it fast and i'll make it natural
don't forget to pay me back, i take collateral, you'll get it back when we're good
(bridge)
you can't MYOB, you wanna fight with me?
don't do it, cuz i don't do this much
i just need all the anxiety to go away
(chorus x2)
In Ricky Eat Acid's song "Medicine", the lyrics seem to communicate a sense of dependence on a substance to cope with anxiety or social awkwardness. The singer seeks a type of relief or calming effect through the use of "medicine" and claims that he needs it to function properly. The "medicine" in question could be interpreted as an actual drug or substance, but it could also be symbolic of anything that provides a sense of solace or escape from difficult emotions.
The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes the need for the singer to obtain his "medicine" to feel better, while the verses express a feeling of discomfort and anxiety around other people. The lyrics "when I see them I keep freezing up, and I speak in tongues" suggest that the singer may struggle with social anxiety or communication issues. In the bridge, the singer seems defensive and asks to be left alone, claiming that he just needs the "anxiety to go away".
Overall, the song seems to communicate a message about the struggles of those who experience anxiety and the search for ways to cope.
