Career
2007–2013: Acting and music endeavors
Smith made her acting debut in I Am Legend alongside her father. Her next film, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, was released on July 2, 2008. In 2008, she voiced the character of young Gloria the hippo in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, alongside her mother as Gloria the hippo.
In June 2009, Smith’s mother Jada Pinkett Smith announced in an interview on Lopez Tonight that Smith would be releasing an album. Smith then released her first single, “Whip My Hair“, which went platinum in the US and peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK, the single peaked at number two. Its video was nominated for Video of the Year at the BET Awards of 2011. Smith soon after announced her next single, “21st Century Girl“. After she performed the song on The Oprah Winfrey Show, she released it the next day on February 3, 2011. The video was released March 9, 2011. On January 20, 2011, Will Smith announced he was planning to produce a contemporary remake of the Broadway musical Annie starring Smith in the title role. However, Smith was deemed too old and the title role was given to Quvenzhané Wallis in February 2013.
On October 6, 2011, “Fireball”, a collaboration between Smith and rapper Nicki Minaj, was released. “Fireball” was a commercial failure, failing to chart in any type of music market, except the US R&B chart, charting at 121. It was her first song to miss the Billboard Hot 100. Smith’s producer announced that she were almost finished working on her debut album, and that it would be done soon. He also said it has a similar style to “Whip My Hair”. The title of the album was later announced to be Knees and Elbows. It was scheduled to be released around April 2012, but was later announced that it would be postponed for release later in the year. On May 1, 2012, she released a music video for “Do it Like Me (Rockstar)”, saying that it was her “first video ever”. On July 2, 2012, Smith released the “I Am Me” music video at the BET Awards. On July 17, she released her fourth single, “I Am Me” via iTunes and Amazon.
In the summer of 2013, Smith and DJ Fabrega started a duo titled “Melodic Chaotic”. “The Intro” was released as the first work, “Summer Fling” was released as the second work of the two on July 6, 2013. The music video was directed by Smith and Mike Vargas who previously directed her single “I Am Me”. The song has been widely criticized for its mature tone, the use of the word “fling”, and the fake English accent she incorporates. On September 16, 2013, Smith performed “Summer Fling” on the series premiere of The Queen Latifah Show. During the performance, she said: “Just for clarity, the word fling means something that’s short lived…And this song is dedicated to all the kids around the world whose summer is never long enough.”
2014–2018: 3 EP, Ardipithecus, and The 1st
On October 24, 2014, Smith and FADER announced that Smith would be releasing her debut EP, titled “3”, on October 31, 2014 for free via Google Play for limited time and November 10, 2014, but it was later pushed to November 17, 2014 via iTunes. The same day, she held a concert in New York City at The FADER Fort, where she performed select tracks from her new EP with SZA. She also performed the song “5” with her brother, as well as “Summer Fling” and a new rendition of her famous hit “Whip My Hair”.
Smith released the single “F Q-C #7” on May 7, 2015. An accompanying music video was released the same day on Vevo. After release, on September, a video to the track “Why Don’t You Cry” on i-D, Willow released her first album Ardipithecus on December 11. About her debut album’s title, Willow said “Ardipithecus Ramidus Sahelanthropus tchadensis is the scientific name of the first hominid bones found on earth. I wanted to name my musical compilation after it because, while I was making these songs, I was in such a transitional state. Digging deep in the soil of my heart and finding bits and pieces of my ancient self that tell stories, which end up being the lyrics to the songs.”
On her birthday, October 31, 2017, she released her second album The 1st which is praised for its musical development, particularly Willow’s ability to create music following her 1990s R&B predecessors, despite not having been alive during the time. She toured the album with Jhene Aiko alongside St. Beauty, Kodie Shane, and Kitty Cash through the end of 2017.
Along with her mother and grandmother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, Smith hosts Red Table Talk, a web talk show for which she received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination.

On June 24, 2019, Smith announced her third studio album, Willow. It was released on July 19, 2019, and was co-produced by herself and Tyler Cole. The duo later released a collaborative album titled The Anxiety in 2020.
