In 2013, after it became clear that her debut album had been abandoned entirely, Willow Smith attracted controversy after releasing the single "Summer Fling." Many believed that the song had mature tones and was an inappropriate song for a girl so young. However, Smith bounced back in 2014 with news of an EP on the way. That year, she also performed a live concert in New York City. In 2015, her debut album finally arrived. Entitled Ardipithecus, the album contained the singles "Drugz" and "Why Don't You Cry." Ultimately, the album received poor reviews from critics.
Willow Smith had more luck with her second studio album, 1st. Drawing upon influences from R&B artists during the 1990s, the album received praise from critics who recognized the fact that Smith was progressing as an artist. In 2017, she embarked on a tour to promote her new album.
In 2019, Willow Smith released her third studio album, Willow. The project was a collaboration with producer Tyler Cole, and it contained singles such as "Time Machine" and "U Know," the latter of which featured her brother, Jaden. Willow explored themes such as female empowerment. In 2020, Willow Smith and Tyler Cole released another album called The Anxiety. Critics called it "perfect for quarantine."
