Born and raised in Philadelphia, she signed with J Records to release her debut studio album, Fearless (2008). It peaked at number six on the Billboard 200, topped the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Two of its singles, "Need U Bad" and "Bust Your Windows", peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100; the former became Sullivan's first number one on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Her second album, Love Me Back (2010), peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200 and saw further critical praise. After a three-year hiatus, Sullivan signed with RCA Records (successor to J Records) to release her third album, Reality Show (2015). Met with continued success, it peaked at number 12 on the chart and earned three Grammy Award nominations.
Her first extended play (EP), Heaux Tales (2021), debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and was met with widespread critical acclaim, supported by the platinum-certified singles "Pick Up Your Feelings" and "Girl like Me" (featuring H.E.R.).
