Early works
On 14 February 2021, she released "Dont U Know", with Frankie Allan and Strictly Banks, and on 13 August 2021, she featured on Reflecting, from Chowerman's EP ANTITHESIS, which also featured Luciferian and Kami-O. On 20 May 2022, Plank self-released "Hate Me". The song detailed Plank's attempts at putting off a potential love interest, due to her own self-hatred. The song brought Plank to the attention of Black Butter Records, who signed her, and rereleased the song on 19 August 2022, the same day as its camcorder-style music video, which was shot with Sexy Lady Massive, a women-only rave in London.
