Slayyyter officially debuted in August 2018 with her first single, "BFF" featuring Ayesha Erotica, which she had contacted shortly after becoming a fan. Slayyyter first began teasing the song on her Instagram by sharing snippets and posting pictures captioned "BFF".
"BFF" was later released on August 6, 2018. Throughout the beginning of her career, she met producers such as Robokid, Boy Sim and Donatachi who were more known for their involvement in PC Music. She had also met artists such as That Kid, and Charli XCX whom she has both collaborated with. Slayyyter later released singles such as "Ghost", "I'm High" and "Platform Shoes" before finally announcing her first album-length project alongside the release of "Candy", stating that it would be the last single before the release of her debut mixtape. Despite this, she released the stand-alone single "Hello Kitty" to make up for a messy March release schedule.
She also later announced that she'd be working with producers such as Ayesha Erotica, Ghost Haus and Boy Sim. Despite her mixtape being aimed for release in November 2018, it was delayed and pushed back to 2019 after Slayyyter had private and personal information publicly leaked on the internet. Following the leak, Slayyyter released "Alone" and a holiday themed single, "All I Want for Xxxmas", which was released only days before Christmas.
In early 2019, Slayyyter announced her viral Valentine's Day single "Mine", which was reused in various Twitter memes to hype the upcoming single. Following its release, "Mine" reached #38 on the iTunes pop chart in the United States.
Months after the minor success of "Mine", Slayyyter had teased her upcoming single, "Daddy AF". After previously teasing snippets of the track and its music video, she officially released it along with its music video. It was her first ever single officially released under a label, and her most popular single to date. It was also her first ever high budget video, directed by Logan Fields.
After the success of "Daddy AF", Slayyyter released an official cover of Britney Spears' original song, "Everytime", which was a tribute to the ongoing #FREEBRITNEY movement.
In June 2019, Slayyyter began her first tour, titled The Mini Tour, supported by fellow collaborators Robokid, Boy Sim and That Kid. Shortly after, she released her second official cover, this time of Nelly's original song "Ride wit Me". Not long after, "Cha Ching" was released as the final single before her highly anticipated debut self-titled mixtape, Slayyyter would come out on September 17, 2019, the same day as her birthday.
After a period of silence and inactivity, Slayyyter teased and released a brand new single after months titled "Self Destruct (featuring Wuki) which signaled in a new musical era. Over the next months and into 2021, she would release new singles including "Throatzillaaa", "Troubled Paradise", and "Clouds", all of which would be included on her debut studio album, Troubled Paradise. Her debut studio album was eventually released on June 11, 2021.

slayyyter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me, are you here to stay?
Afterparty dancer
Do you even know my name?
I need your love
I need you closer
It's not enough, ah ah
Hope you're not leaving
No, not tonight
All that I can do is dance here with you
You know I can't be alone, no
Oh, I know you wanna go
But I need you here to move my body
Oh, I know you wanna go
But I need you here to move my body
Just dance here with me
Just dance here with me
Tell me that you want me
I came out tonight to play
Dance in my reflection
Silver like the kiss you gave, ooh
I need your love
I need you closer
It's not enough, ah ah
Look in my eyes
Hope you're not leaving
No, not tonight
Oh, I know you wanna go
But I need you here to move my body
Oh, I know you wanna go
But I need you here to move my body
Just dance here with me
Just dance here with me
(Dance here with me)
(Dance here with me)
(Dance here with me)
(Dance here with me)
Oh, I know you wanna go
But I need you here to move my body
Oh, I know you wanna go
But I need you here to move my body
Just dance here with me
Just dance here with me
The lyrics to slayyyter's song "My Body" express a desire for connection and intimacy. The singer addresses their partner, asking them to set the mood by turning the lights down and questioning if they are truly committed to the relationship. The mention of an "afterparty dancer" suggests a potential temptation or distraction, as the singer wonders if this person even knows their name.
The chorus reveals the singer's longing for love and physical closeness. They express that their partner's presence alone is not enough and that they need them to look into their eyes and assure them that they won't be leaving, at least not tonight. The emphasis on needing love and proximity implies a deep craving for emotional and physical connection.
In the second verse, the singer asks their partner to tell them that they want them, implying a need for reassurance and validation. The mention of dancing in their reflection suggests a desire to lose themselves in the moment and embrace their own sensuality. The reference to silver, perhaps highlighting the kiss shared with their partner, further underscores the intimacy and allure of the moment.
The chorus is repeated, once again emphasizing the singer's dependency on their partner to move their body. They acknowledge that their partner may want to leave, but they plead for them to stay, as their presence is essential for the singer to fully express themselves through dancing. The repetition of the lines "Just dance here with me" further emphasizes the significance of their partner's participation in the moment.
In summary, "My Body" conveys a longing for love, intimacy, and connection. The lyrics portray the singer's reliance on their partner's presence to feel truly alive and immersed in the moment, emphasizing the importance of emotional and physical closeness in their relationship.

@xancore16
this album is so 90s vibes and i love it
@coreygabbard2690
Reminds me of Madonna meet’s Debbie Harry and I love it
@Greybell
I think it's a mixture of 80s synthpop with 90s europop. I can imagine this whole album in a cyberpunk-themed movie with 80s Playboy aesthetic.
@DemetriusJune
