## Career

### 2018-2019: "ICON"

Cobrah released her debut single, "IDFKA" (acronym for "I Don't Fucking Know Anymore"), in 2018. In a 2020 interview about her debut single she said,

> *“Like, honestly, everything… That song just keeps giving me a new meaning every week. It was about growing up and having a very ambivalent relationship with sex and romance. As I think most teenagers do, especially teenage girls that are looking for a place of belonging. It's easy to be taken advantage of, and it's very hard when you're a kid to realise when it happens.”*
