In 2023, Robinson would release The End, an EP featuring singles "Headstrong Gunner", "Pressure" with Chloe Moriondo, and "Sub 32".

Robinson would then, a year later, release his first single off his new album, Strung Out Symphony, titled "Icantbelieveiletyougetaway". The single would quickly start gaining traction on TikTok, boosting his popularity.
