After initially recording under her birth name, she adopted the stage name H.E.R. in 2016 and signed with RCA Records to release her debut extended play (EP), H.E.R. Volume 1 in September of that year. It was followed by four subsequent EPs; the first two of which were part of her self-titled compilation album (2017), which won two Grammy Awards (from five total nominations) for Best R&B Album and Best R&B Performance for its single, "Best Part" (with Daniel Caesar).

That same year, her song "Fight for You"—released for the film Judas and the Black Messiah—won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance the following year. Her debut studio album, Back of My Mind was released in June 2021 to critical and commercial success. In 2022, she won the Children's and Family Emmy Award for her contributions on Barack and Michelle Obama's animated children's series, We the People.
