In January 2020, Ottolini released the song "F-150". The track was included on her February 2020 release The I'm Not Always Hilarious EP. Towards the latter half of 2020, "F-150" gained traction on TikTok and charted at #3 on the Rolling Stone Trending 25 chart in the United States for the week of October 1, 2020. Amidst the success of the track, she signed a record deal with Warner Music Nashville.
"F-150" impacted country radio formats on February 16, 2021, and became her first Top 10 hit on the Billboard Canada Country chart, and first gold-certified single in Canada. In June 2021, Ottolini released her major-label debut project The But I'm Not Always Sad Either EP, which included the single "Tell You Everything". Later that year, she won the "Rising Star" award at the 2021 Canadian Country Music Awards.
