2021 began with her participation in the single "Freddo cane" by the band Rovere,[19] followed by her own single "Non cambi mai" with Blind and Nashley.[20]

The following year, she began an artistic journey with Lorenzo Fragola, with whom she released the singles " Attraverso", "Luna fortuna", "Testa x aria" and "Happy", which preceded their collaborative album Crepacuore, released on 12 May 2023.[21][22]
