Hot Like Wow (2007 to 2008)
Oh's debut album Hot Like Wow was produced by Space Cowboy and released in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2008 by Tiger Trax Records, with songs featured on the American TV shows Ugly Betty, Gossip Girl and So You Think You Can Dance. On July 16, 2011, the title track "Hot Like Wow" was featured on So You Think You Can Dance for the second time. The album was preceded by three singles: "My Egyptian Lover", "Something 4 the Weekend" and "N.A.D.I.A. O.H." from 2007 to 2008. The album was however supported by the release of the single, "Got Your Number", that bought her international attention on the American TV series, Gossip Girl.
Colours (2009 to 2012)
Oh worked once again with Space Cowboy on her second studio album, Colours, released on May 8, 2011. Singles from the album, "Taking Over the Dancefloor", which received airplay on BBC Radio 1's The Scott Mills Show, and "No Bueno", showcase a moombahton style and were named Song of the Day by Popjustice on 21 March and June 27, 2011, respectively.
Hiatus and modelling (2013-present)
Since 2012, Oh has not released any new material despite suggesting otherwise. She has since pursued a career in modelling. It is unclear if Oh plans on returning to music. A demo of a song with singer and producer MNEK dated from 2012 allegedly called "Radio Religion" surfaced online in 2021 but it was never officially released.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's a beast yeah
In the sheets yeah
She's a beast yeah
She's a beauty & a beast
She's a beast yeah
She needs a leash yeah
She's a beast
From the club to the bed
This nights a movie
She's gotta camera
She wants to zoom in
She's phenomal, like an animal
Bouncing of the bed like, bouncing of the wall like
She's not just trying to be arogant
Her shit is out of control
Imagine finding her... in a spot like this
Imagine taking her home
She's a beauty & a beast yeah
She's a beast yeah
In the sheets yeah
She's a beast yeah
She's a beauty & a beast
She's a beast yeah
She needs a leash yeah
She's a beast
She's a beauty & a beast
Rose up to the club
She walks straight in
Straight past the line
Like every time
She's phenomal, like an animal
Bouncing of the bed like, bouncing of the wall like
She's not just trying to be arogant
Her shit is out of control
Imagine finding her... in a spot like this
Imagine taking her home

She's a beast yeah
In the sheets yeah
She's a beast yeah
She's a beauty & a beast
She's a beast yeah
She needs a leash yeah
