Swain first began to work on solo material in 1985. She continued her collaboration with St. James and SSQ's original line-up. Her self-titled EP was released by On the Spot Records. Shortly after its release, Swain was signed to Atlantic Records and released her debut studio album Better Than Heaven (1986). It debuted at number fifty-nine on the US Billboard 200 and was certified gold in the United States. The first single released from the album was "Two of Hearts," which was praised by critics and was a commercial success. It peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the highest-selling singles of 1986. The second single, "We Connect," was also successful, peaking at number thirty-five on the Hot 100 chart.

Swain released her second album Hard Machine in February 1988. It spawned three singles: "Don't Make a Fool of Yourself," "I Love You," and "Favorite Things." Her third album Nights Like This (1989) marked a musical departure from her previous material. Drawing influence mostly from house and freestyle music, received positive reviews from music critics. However, it was a commercial failure and became Swain's first album not to reach the Billboard 200.
