The song and video were released on September 18, 2012. The "Let Your Light Shine" music video went on to win several film festivals.

On April 5, 2016, they released their new song "That's What Girls Do", which was produced by Jared Lee Gosselin and written by Chris La Vrar from America's Got Talent.

They picked songs that were more instrument (Guitar and Drums) based and rocked.Songs ranged from Ramones to The Clash to Twenty One Pilots.The videos they posted of these songs got the attention of artists they covered, such as Bethany Costentino, who shared and tweeted "It's Official, I'm quitting the band and letting these two have over @dambrosiotwins" (Twitter 10/31/16) and Linda Ramone, wife of Johnny Ramones reposting on Instagram and actually contacting the girls with great words of encouragement.

The girls learned the songs with their coach Marko DeSantis from the band Sugarcult and recorded them with Luke Tierney who performed in Virgin Records band Silverjet.The videos they made were done with video, commercial and film director Paul Boyd to look great.

The D'Ambrosio Twins released a video and single for “Young And Free" on June 1 and was directed by Paul Boyd.The song was co-written by Marko DeSantis of the band Sugarcult and features musical.ly sensation, Hayden Summerall. The video was premiered on Celebmix.
