Four months later, she produced three songs released in her single debut "Finders, Keepers" in March 2012 through the record label 100 songs.

The single "Black Car" became a hit in homeland Sweden, winning Song of the Year in 2016. In 2017, Bryant was nominated for Best Live Act on the Swedish Grammis. In 2018, British press wrote the following about her single—Clash magazine wrote "Highly Intelligent and completely infectious", and The Line of Best Fit wrote "Miriam Bryant is your next pop superhero".
