2017–present: Breakthrough and self-titled debut studio album

Clemmons released her debut single on Capitol CMG, "Broken Prayers", on December 8, 2017. A music video was released on the same day. She discussed her story behind the song in a video uploaded to her YouTube channel, "The song "Broken Prayers" came truly from a place of brokenness and that feeling of having to get yourself together and bring the best most picture-perfect version of yourself to God, basically feeling like the broken pieces aren't good enough for God. The song came from a place of truly finding peace in the fact that God takes you at your most broken, at your lowest place and at your roughest. And not only does He take you there but He delights in it. And He genuinely loves you in that place." The song was released to Christian radio and peaked at No. 17 on the Hot Christian Songs chart.

She released her second single, "Better For It," on June 8, 2018. A music video was also released.
