Career

Johnson auditioned for the twelfth series of The X Factor, a singing American pop music family group The Jackson 5's "Who's Lovin' You" from 2005. "It's a really difficult song to sing," she said, but she wanted to make a good impression." Following the performance, she received a standing ovation from all four judges and the audience and then moved to "bootcamp." With 4th Impact (formerly known as 4th Power), Sherilyn Hamilton-Shaw, Neneth Lyons, Jasmine Leigh Morris, and Andre Batchelor, and was accepted into the next challenge at "bootcamp." In the second challenge, she performed "Lay Me Down" and made it to the six-chair competition.

At "bootcamp," Johnson was mentored by Rita Ora, who determined the public's discretion. Jennifer Hudson's "And I Am Telling You That I'm Not Going" by Jennifer Hudson made it past the six-chair challenge to "judges' houses; when Johnson arrived, all six chairs were packed; Ora described the atmosphere as "like a zoo." At judges' houses, she sang "Respect" by Aretha Franklin in front of Ora and American musician Meghan Trainor in Los Angeles; this performance drew media notice because Johnson wore two separate pairs of shoes, with some viewers suggesting some sort of faking. Monica Michael, a wildcard entrant, returned to Ora for the live shows two weeks after it was recorded; Lauren Murray and Kiera Weathers were selected by Ora for the live shows.

Following Weathers' demises in the second week, Michael and Murray in the third week and Murray in the semi-finals, Johnson and Ché Chesterman performed a cover version of "I Believe I Can Fly" by Yolanda Adams, making him the final female in the competition. On December 12, she duetted with her mentor, Ora. She performed her winner's single the next night, as a front of Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" album. She won The X Factor on December 13, 2015, becoming the first female winner since Alexandra Burke in 2008 and also the youngest winner ever in the Girls category, defeating Joe McElderry, who was 18 years old when he won in 2009.

Johnson released "Forever Young" after winning The X Factor. On the day after winning, she plugged the single on Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, and This Morning, a day after. X Factor judge Nick Grimshaw aired the single on The X Factor's radio show, Good Morning Britain, Lorraine and This Morning, continuously. On December 18, 2015, her version of the song debuted at number nine on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the youngest ever position on entry for a debut single from an X Factor winner. This can be attributed in large part to the chart day's shift from Sunday, when she was announced as the winner, to Friday, which resulted in her single only receiving four days' sales. The single descended to number twelve on the Christmas Day chart, becoming the lowest ranking X Factor winner's song on the Christmas Day chart ever. Overall, the single is the lowest charting X Factor winner's single to date, with all other champion's singles achieving top the charts or at least reaching the top ten. On the 2015 Text Santa radio broadcast, Johnson performed "Forever Young" on December 18, 2015.

Her debut studio album was expected to be out as soon as possible, possibly as early as February 2016, and it would feature her debut single "Forever Young." The singer later tweeted, "If I don't like it, there's no way it will be out." People will know me from this album, so it needs to be perfect."

"Tears," Johnson's British band Clean Bandit's "Tears" single was released in May 2016. The album was a commercial success, debuting in Scotland and the United Kingdom, as well as charting in several other European countries. The British Phonographic Industry also rated it as platinum (BPI). She appeared on "Tears" with Clean Bandit and a new version of the song "Over and Over Again" with Nathan Sykes at the Summertime Ball in June. She co-headlined the festival the following year and appeared as a guest performer in 2018.

In November 2016, Johnson released "So Good," her second solo album. The single attained a gold medal from BPI and ranked 13 in the United Kingdom. Johnson co-headlined both nights of London's O2 Arena in 2017 for the second year in a row. In March 2017, she recorded "Best Behaviour," her third album. It began at number 48 in the United Kingdom and was named silver by BPI. She appeared on Olly Murs' single "Unpredictable" in 2017, ranked 32 on the official UK singles chart and received a silver medal from BPI in 2017. Johnson's fourth album, "Yes," was released in March 2018, a joint effort with American rapper 2 Chainz, which debuted at number 65 in the United Kingdom.

Johnson revealed on social media that she had left Syco on July 13. The Ministry of Sound also revealed the debut of her latest album in early August. On August 10, 2018, the single "Between You & Me," a One Bit project, was released. She appeared on Mars Moniz' single "999" later this month. She worked with Sigma on the single "Here We Go Again" which debuted in the United Kingdom at number 98. She appeared on Kream and Eden Prince's single "Ain't Thinkin Bout You" and later in 2019 with Steve Void.

Johnson announced a partnership with fitness apparel brand USA Pro in January 2020. Following the announcement, she released "Like I Love Me" to promote the partnership. Johnson posed completely nude for the single's work of art, being photographed standing down in front of a plain background, with one leg raised towards her and the other one spread out.

"Always Be There" was her debut in September 2022 as a result of Jonas Blue's collaboration "Always Be There."
