In 2018, Ilira signed a label deal with Four Music, and released her debut track "Whisper My Name" on 24 August 2018, followed by her second single "Get Off My D!ck" that same year which entered the Spotify Viral Top 50 in the U.S. Her first chart placement was achieved together with Alle Farben and the song "Fading", which reached number 16 on the German Single Charts and number 1 on the German Airplay Charts for four consecutive weeks.
In 2019, Ilira released four singles, "Do It Yourself", "Diablo" (with Spanish producer and recording artist Juan Magán), "Pay Me Back!", and "Extra Fr!es".
In 2020, she released the singles "Royalty", "Fuck It, I Love It!", "Ladida (My Heart Goes Boom)" (together with Crispie), "Easy", and "Eat My Brain".
On 14 December 2021 Ilira announced that she had signed a joint deal with Virgin Records and Universal Music Group. She released the single "Flowers" on 17 December 2021 as her first solo single of 2021, and her first single under Virgin Records. In 2022, she released the single "Another Heart".
