Her debut album Lizzobangers was released in 2013, followed by her sophomore album Big Grrrl Small World in 2015. But it was her 2019 blockbuster Cuz I Love You, which featured her hit songs Juice and Tempo featuring Missy Elliott, that cemented her firmly on a global stage, leading to appearances on Saturday Night Live and RuPaul's Drag Race, an acting role in the 2019 film Hustlers, and the opportunity to voice a character in the animated film UglyDolls. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Progressive R&B Album as well as Best Pop Solo Performance for Truth Hurts.

Alongside her breakout 2016 single Good as Hell and the 2023 hit Pink, from the Barbie film soundtrack, About Damn Time is one of her most popular songs and won Record of the Year at the 65th Grammy Awards (she dedicated the award to her mentor and fellow Minneapolis-bred superstar Prince). Lizzo has been featured in a 2022 documentary about her career called Love, Lizzo, as well as her Emmy Award-winning reality TV series Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
