The British singer-songwriter Raye has released one studio album, two live albums, six extended plays (EPs), forty-one singles (including twelve as a featured artist), and thirteen promotional singles. Her first EP, Welcome to the Winter, was self-released to SoundCloud in 2014. Raye signed a recording contract with Polydor Records shortly after and released her EP Second in 2016, which was preceded by her debut single "I, U, Us". She featured on the singles "By Your Side" by Jonas Blue and "You Don't Know Me" by Jax Jones in late 2016; the latter charted at number three on the UK singles chart and within the top ten in other European countries, later receiving a diamond certification in France. In 2017, Raye was part of Artists for Grenfell's cover version of "Bridge over Troubled Water", which reached number one in the United Kingdom.
The songs "Decline" featuring Mr Eazi, and "Cigarette" with Mabel and Stefflon Don, preceded Raye's third EP, Side Tape (2018). Following a string of singles, Raye collaborated with the Regard on "Secrets" in 2020; the song peaked at number six in the UK and was certified platinum in some countries. It was included on Euphoric Sad Songs, released in November of the same year. In early 2021, Raye released "Bed" with Joel Corry and David Guetta, which became her highest-peaking song as a lead artist in the UK at the time. Later that year, Raye declared that Polydor Records refused to release her debut album for seven years. She later parted ways from the label and became an independent artist, later signing with the distribution company Human Re Sources.
Raye's debut studio album, My 21st Century Blues, was released on 3 February 2023, to commercial success. It was preceded by the singles "Hard Out Here", "Black Mascara", "Escapism" featuring 070 Shake, and "The Thrill Is Gone". Following the track's virality on social media, "Escapism" became Raye's first number one single in the UK, her first entry on the US Billboard Hot 100, and her highest-peaking song on several other charts including the Billboard Global 200. The same year, Raye's collaboration with Cassö and D-Block Europe, titled "Prada", topped the national charts in various countries. The singer later featured on Lisa's "Born Again" alongside Doja Cat.
