Her music has also seen success on both country radio and streaming platforms.

In July of 2022, she released her latest single “Truck Boi”– a song she shares is about a hypothetical “Country f-boy who only cares about his supped-up truck and getting ladies” (Rose, Olivia). A song that resonated with her fans, as it has amassed 48K+ streams on Spotify alone.
