In June 2015, With You. released their first EP, Speak, which features a remix by rave group 2 Bad Mice.[4] Two months later, in August 2015, the group released their first single entitled Ghost, featuring Vince Staples which included the song of the same name, its radio edit version, and an instrumental version.[11][12] For the debut of "Ghost" Apple Music's Beats 1 Radio played the song every 30 minutes.[13]

With You. also collaborated with vocalist Brittany Foster in 2015, and plan on releasing a mixtape in 2016.[1][2]

With You. has described their musical influences as house, R&B, jazz, reggae, hip-hop and dancehall, which Taylor, Trainor and Daouda attribute to their diverse musical backgrounds.[1]
