Ella Mai launched into international stardom after her 2018 song "Boo'd Up" became a hit in several corners of the world.

In 2022, she released "Heart on My Sleeve," although she had already achieved seven RIAA-certified songs by then. Despite being a public figure, Mai keeps her personal life out of the spotlight.
