When she was 14, she met songwriter Joleen Belle, with whom she wrote the theme song to Austin & Ally and many other songs for TV and film. At 19, she met Lindy Robbins, with whom she wrote "Fire Starter" for Demi Lovato and "Miss Movin' On" for Fifth Harmony.[6]

Michaels has said her inspirations include Fiona Apple, Lisa Mitchell, Laura Marling, Missy Higgins, Paramore, Juliet Simms, Sarah Blasko, and The Fray.[7] Michaels had been writing in the Hollywood Pop Circuits since she was 16. When she was 20, she met her songwriting partner Justin Tranter with whom she frequently collaborates.[8] She is credited with writing hits for artists including Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Fifth Harmony.[9] Together with the Norwegian musician Kygo she performed "Carry Me" at the closing ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[10]

Personal life
After a series of Instagram posts featuring each other and collaborating on "There's No Way", Michaels and fellow artist Lauv confirmed on October 2018 that they were dating. After a couple of months, Michaels hinted that they broke up after posting to Instagram with the caption "No more dating narcissists".[26] Lauv references his relationship with Michaels in his song "Julia", where he apologizes for how he mistreated her.[27]
