In November 2017, they released the single "About the Clouds" featuring Olivia Reid, described by Andy Gorel of C-Heads as "A comfortable blend of indie folk and electronic pop."[2] "About the Clouds" was used in a Visa advertising campaign in early 2018.[4]
In July 2018 SŸDE released "Follow" Me featuring Evan Klar.[6][7]
In August 2019, SŸDE released "Her Touch", with the duo explaining, "The song is about passion, feeling passion and then the sensation of not caring once you’ve lost it. We wanted to touch on the craziness of feeling love so intensely but then the flip side when you're out of love. It’s like you completely forget the feelings you once had when you were in that relationship."[8]
