The duo first met in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S., in 2017, where both were trying to establish themselves as professional songwriters. [4] They began working together in 2018 after Bethel was exposed to Mouzourakis's online cover of "Ketchum, ID" by boygenius. [5] The name "Tommy Lefroy" is a reference to Thomas Langlois Lefroy, an Irish politician who is thought to be an inspiration for the character of Mr. Darcy in Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice . [4]

After collaborating on songwriting and learning record production, they began releasing singles in 2021, [6] breaking through to wider success when their single "The Cause" became popular on TikTok. [4]

They released their debut EP Flight Risk in November 2021. [4] They signed to Pheromone Recordings in 2022, and put out the non-album single "Dog Eat Dog" as their first release for the label. [7]
