Rolling Stone.com described her sound as "a British émigré full of self-confidence and an affinity for classic Nineties R&B.


Songwriter Joelle James first wrote "Boo'd Up" back in 2014 originally for herself. She later looked for an someone to give the song to, eventually giving it to Ella Mai after feeling "synergy of it would be perfect for her."

The song became her first top 10 song in the US in the following month, deeming it her "breakthrough hit".
