Beer began work on her debut album which was slated to have pop and R&B influences, stating there "will be slow songs, sad songs, happy songs, songs about boys, and songs about being who you are. I'm making sure I'm happy with all of the songs, because if I am not happy with them, I can't expect anyone else to be, you know?" The album is believed to have been scrapped
"Unbreakable" was the second single released by Beer. The song was released on June 17, 2014. On February 16, 2015, it was announced that Beer was set to be a featured artist in a new single by DJs Mako titled "I Won't Let You Walk Away".

On August 9, 2019, Beer announced on her Instagram account that she had signed with Epic Records. She later released her debut studio album, Life Support, in 2021. The album was supported by several singles, including "Selfish", which gained traction on the media-sharing app TikTok, leading to the single's RIAA Gold certification.

As a member of the group, she has released the internationally charting singles "Pop/Stars" and "More". She has also appeared on television series such as Todrick and RuPaul's Drag Race and in the film Louder Than Words.
Life Support was released on February 26, 2021, which Beer co-wrote entirely and co-produced most of the record as well. The album received generally favorable critic reviews with Dani Blum of Pitchfork calling it "ambitious yet shallow, seemingly intent on proving its own seriousness". NME's Hannah Mylrea was more favorable and gave it 4/5 stars. Riff Magazine's Mike DeWald gave the album an 8/10, saying "It may have been years in the making, but Madison Beer's first album is worth the wait for pop fans." The album debuted at number sixty-five on the US Billboard 200, and also peaked in the top thirty on both the Canadian Albums and OCC UK Albums charts. That same month, Beer confirmed in a podcast interview with The Zach Sang Show that she had already started working on the follow-up to Life Support, saying "We have seven songs on the second album already, and we had four days of a writing camp." In May 2021, she announced a North American tour, titled The Life Support Tour, in support of her album, however, the following month she extended it to a European leg. Maggie Lindemann and musician Audriix served as the opening acts for the North American leg while Leah Kate served as the European leg opener. The tour began in late October that year in Toronto, Canada, and ended in late November in Los Angeles with the European leg picking up towards the end of March 2022 in Madrid, Spain, and concluding by late April in Oslo, Norway. Beer revealed to Manchester Evening News that her upcoming second studio album was "coming together really nicely" and she was working on songs for it. She released the song "Reckless" on June 3, 2021, intended as the lead single of her upcoming sophomore studio album. The song was met with critical acclaim for its lyrical content and vulnerability and peaked in the top forty on the Billboard US Mainstream Top 40. Later that month, Beer co-founded Know Beauty, a DNA personalization–based skincare brand, with Vanessa Hudgens. In August, she launched the 90s–inspired clothing collection in collaboration with British e-commerce fashion retailer Boohoo. On November 4, 2021, Beer released her first soundtrack song, "Room For You", as part of the film Clifford the Big Red Dog's soundtrack album, which was released later that month.
In July 2022, Beer appeared in a cameo alongside various internet personalities in the music video for "Dolls", the title track and third single from singer and social media personality Bella Poarch's debut extended play of the same name. On July 22, 2022, Beer released the soundtrack song, "I Have Never Felt More Alive", for Lionsgate's Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Virginia Gardner–starred film Fall.
Beer released "Dangerous" as the lead single to her second studio album on August 26, 2022. It was followed by "Showed Me (How I Fell in Love with You)" on October 14, 2022.
Beer has stated that her inspirations in her music and songwriting are Lana Del Rey, Daft Punk, Melanie Martinez, and Ariana Grande. When questioned if she was inspired by Grande, Beer responded "I mean, you know Ariana's been one of my favorite people ever for like, so much of my career and like, even just prior to my career, so I'm sure she's definitely influenced me, a lot. ... But, I hate this narrative that's being pushed about me and her, you know, that it's kinda like this competition thing, like this is someone I idolize and someone I look up to."
Heartless
Madison Beer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glass is half empty
I want you bad
I want it that bad
I get what I want
But maybe I shouldn't
'Cause that would be bad
That would be so bad
One, two, three, four, five
Too many times
I've been down this road too many nights
So next time
I should use my heart
I should use my heart
I should use my heart less
Use my heart
I should use my heart
I should use my heart less, no
So I kiss you goodbye
Maybe I shouldn't, not when it's good
Not when it's this good
And I never learn
So maybe it's my fault
I always love
I love you too hard
One, two, three, four, five
Too many times
I've been down this road too many nights
So next time
I should use my heart
I should use my heart
I should use my heart less
Use my heart
I should use my heart
I should use my heart less, no
(I should use my heart less)
Voicemail is full
Glass is half empty
I want you bad
I want it that bad
I should use my heart
I should use my heart
I should use my heart less
Use my heart
I should use my heart
I should use my heart less, no
(I should use my heart less)
In Madison Beer's song "HeartLess," the singer explores the inner turmoil of wanting someone so badly that it clouds her judgment. She acknowledges that she gets what she wants but questions whether she should because it would be bad. The voicemail being full and the glass being half empty metaphorically represent how, despite having everything at her fingertips, she still feels incomplete without this person. She's been down this road too many times, and she's always loved too hard, causing herself pain.
The chorus of the song is where the title comes from, as Madison realizes that she should use her heart less in these situations. She's aware that she needs to stop relying on her heart alone and start using her head to make better decisions. However, despite her acknowledgment of the situation, she finds it challenging to say goodbye, especially when it's good.

My phone has received too many messages from you
Glass is half empty
I tend to see things in a negative light
I want you bad
I desire you deeply
I want it that bad
I crave what we have that much
I get what I want
I usually succeed in attaining what I desire
But maybe I shouldn't
Perhaps I should reconsider my actions
'Cause that would be bad
Because the outcome of my actions could be detrimental
That would be so bad
The potential consequences of my actions could be terrible
One, two, three, four, five
I've been in situations like this too many times
Too many times
This isn't the first time I've felt this way
I've been down this road too many nights
I've experienced these emotions too many times
So next time
In the future, I'll try something different
I should use my heart
I should make decisions based on my emotions
I should use my heart less
I should be more cautious with my heart
Use my heart
Consider my feelings and emotions when making decisions
So I kiss you goodbye
I'm saying farewell to our relationship
Maybe I shouldn't, not when it's good
Perhaps ending it now isn't the right choice
Not when it's this good
Our relationship is great right now
And I never learn
I always make the same mistakes
So maybe it's my fault
I'm partially responsible for how things turn out
I always love
I feel deeply about everything
I love you too hard
Maybe I feel too passionately for you
(I should use my heart less)
I need to be more rational and less emotional

@kiara5092
Maria Balla this isn’t an album, it wasn’t supposed to be. it’s an ep, that’s what she intended to put out.
@shootingstar3839
Despite the fact that she has been promising an album
@kiara5092
Maria Balla girl, she’s talked about this on you now multiple times. she literally has said she is going to put out and ep FIRST, then an album will eventually be released. please don’t talk when you don’t know anything.
