Early life
Frances Garrett grew up outside of Baltimore and was homeschooled as a child. They started playing piano at six years old and began writing songs as a teenager. A summer intensive at Berklee College of Music convinced them to pursue music professionally. They chose the stage name "Frances Forever" as a play on their first name and as an homage to the song "Francis Forever" by Mitski.

Career
Garrett began their career with the release of their first EP Pockets in 2018. The EP featured songs written on single instruments that represent "pockets" of Garrett's life. They later submitted their song "Space Girl" as an entry to be on NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts series. Though the entry was not chosen, Boston's WBUR-FM selected the song as their favorite submission from Massachusetts, calling Garrett's songwriting "reminiscent of the smart bedroom pop of peers like Sidney Gish and Clairo, cheerful-sounding ditties that belie more complicated emotions: sadness, longing, resentment". Garrett also went on to perform a headlining slot at WBUR's CityScape event on August 23, 2019.

"Space Girl" was officially released as a single on March 27, 2020, and became a viral hit through TikTok, garnering over 10 million streams on streaming services.
