In April 2024, Dawson signed with RCA Records and released her first single with the label, "Happy World," crafted alongside collaborators Alida Peck and Zhone. The track blends '70s rock and disco influences with contemporary pop, showcasing Dawson's vocal prowess and her ability to create a nostalgic yet fresh sound.
