In 2015, she started uploading her original songs onto her YouTube channel, gathering hundreds of thousands of views. In 2017, she released her first single Place We Were Made, which has amassed nearly 42 million plays on Spotify as of August 2021. She followed up later that year with the similarly stripped-down piano ballad Birthday. The songs gained attention in indie-pop circles and Place We Were Made was named BBC Introducing's song of the week early 2018. Following this attention, Peters signed with Atlantic Records UK. Under their banner, she released various singles and two EPs, Dressed Too Nice for a Jacket and It's Your Bed Babe, It's Your Funeral. Both Feels Like This and Favourite Ex appeared on Love Island in 2019.
In 2020, Peters contributed the song Smile to the soundtrack album Birds of Prey: The Album, for the film Birds of Prey (2020). She was also announced as the opening act for Niall Horan 's Nice to Meet Ya Tour on tourdates in Europe. However, these concerts were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Peters released work for another soundtrack in 2021, this time for Trying: Season 2 (Apple TV+ Original Series Soundtrack). She wrote and performed all songs, with a feature by fellow British recording artist James Bay on the song Funeral.
On the 15th of June 2021, Peters left Atlantic Records and signed with Ed Sheeran 's Gingerbread Man Records. Under this label, she released her debut album You Signed Up for This on 27 August 2021. The album debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and was the top selling album in UK independent record stores for that week. With the first two singles of the record, John Hughes Movie and Psycho, Peters garnered her first notations on the British charts.
Peters embarked on her first headlining tour in 2022, touring the United States. Later that year, she joined Ed Sheeran 's +–=÷x Tour as opening act. While touring she released singles Cate's Brother, Blonde, Good Enough and Not Another Rockstar. She cited various (pop) rock bands as influences in her new music. Peters has announced she will tour Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand in 2023.
In January 2023, Peters released Body Better, the lead single from her second album, calling it one of her "most honest songs ever". Following this, she announced her second album The Good Witch, alongside its tracklist, to be released on 23 June 2023, describing it as her own "twisted version of a breakup album". To promote the album, fifteen weeks before the release, Peters began posting weekly tarot cards designed around each track on the album in company of a description of the song. On 31 March, the second single of the album, Lost The Breakup, was released. Peters also announced dates for her North American tour ,The Good Witch Tour, with support from Grace Enger and dates for her UK tour, The Road to Wembley Tour. On 26 May 2023, the third single of the album, Two Weeks Ago, was released

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, this smile is a loaded gun
It's my party, my body, my business
It's my town and my crown on my hitlist
It's my world and you're just living in it
Did I, did I, did I finish?
They are my girls, and it's us who's deciding
Leave your name and we'll call if we like it
If we, if we, if we like it
No more Mrs. Sweet and Miss Nice
No more Mrs. Fuckin' Polite
Time for Mrs. Takin'-What's-Mine
You don't need him
Got bridges to burn and places to run
Yeah, this smile is a loaded gun
It's my party, my body, my business
If he tries to control me, he's finished
Won't be crying, there's plenty of fishes
And I, and I, and I'm fishin'
You should know that you won't find another
Who will ruin our life then your brothers
Who will take what she's owed when she wants to
Did I, did I, did I stutter?
No more Mrs. Sweet and Miss Nice
No more Mrs. Fuckin' Polite
Time for Mrs. Takin'-What's-Mine
You don't need him
No more Mrs. Lettin'-it-Slide
No more Mrs. Shut-Up-And-Smile
Time for Mrs. Takin'-What's-Mine
You don't need him
I got bridges to burn and places to run
One night and your party's done
Got bridges to burn and places to run
Yeah, this smile is a loaded gun
All these fakers, they come to a stop with me
Tryna step on my rungs
All these boys tryna claim my discography
Never heard of them once
They keep chasin' my crumbs
But I'm leavin' them none
Ooh
Bridges to burn, places to run
Bridges to burn, places to run
Bridges to burn, places to run
Bridges to burn, places to run
No more Mrs. Sweet and Miss Nice
No more Mrs. Fuckin' Polite
Time for Mrs. Takin'-What's-Mine
You don't need him
I got bridges to burn and places to run
One night and your party's done
Got bridges to burn and places to run
Yeah, this smile is a loaded gun
I got bridges to burn and places to run
One night and your party's done
Got bridges to burn and places to run
Yeah, this smile is a loaded gun
The lyrics to Maisie Peters's song "Smile" are all about empowerment and taking control of one's life. The artist sings about having "bridges to burn and places to run," suggesting that there are certain things that need to be left behind in order to move forward. She also says that her "smile is a loaded gun," indicating that she is not to be underestimated and that she is capable of standing up for herself.
As the song goes on, Peters makes it clear that she is in charge of her own life. She sings, "It's my party, my body, my business," and later adds, "It's my world and you're just living in it." The lyrics also address the fact that women are often expected to be polite and accommodating, but Peters is saying that she's done with that. She declares, "No more Mrs. Sweet and Miss Nice / No more Mrs. Fuckin' Polite," and instead embraces being "Mrs. Takin'-What's-Mine."
Overall, "Smile" is a song about taking charge and not apologizing for it. It's an anthem for anyone who has ever been told they can't or shouldn't do something, and it encourages listeners to forge ahead regardless of the obstacles in their way.
