The iCarly actress turned singer wrote sharp pop songs before her memoir I'm Glad My Mom Died.
For her pop side, try Don't You Just Hate Those People. Her cover of I Can't Make You Love Me shows a different, quieter register.
Her 2012 single Like Like hit number one on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart, showing she could land a dance-pop hook. Songs like Better and Don't You Just Hate Those People have a direct, slightly wry pop sensibility that feels like a precursor to the plainspoken voice in her memoir. That 2022 book about body image and Hollywood gave her music a different kind of context.
She started releasing music while still acting on Nickelodeon, with her debut EP Not That Far Away in 2010. After the Generation Love EP and that dance chart success in 2012, she put out one more EP called The Other Side in 2014 before stepping away from music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
