In the autumn of 2015 Dagny recorded song "Backbeat." Described as having a "pounding indie-pop vibe", it quickly caught the attention of Zane Lowe at Apple Music's Beats 1 station. The song then appeared on Spotify's New Music playlist, achieving 300,000 plays in a few days. By mid-2016 the song had accrued over 20 million plays on Spotify. The acoustic version of the song went on to feature in the Grey's Anatomy episode "True Colors."
