Clapham and Davis, who have been friends since childhood, began composing music together in their teenage years.[3][4] In 2013, after posting an advertisement on the website Craigslist seeking a singer for their musical project, Clapham and Davis connected with Joy, who was thereafter recruited as Cannons' frontwoman.[4][5]

Cannons issued their first EP Up All Night in 2014. The band then released their debut album Night Drive in 2017, as well as a second EP, In a Heartbeat, the following year. Shadows, Cannons' second album, was released in 2019. "Fire for You", the first single from Shadows, gained significant commercial traction after being featured in a 2020 episode of the comedy-drama TV series Never Have I Ever.[3][4][6] The band subsequently signed to Columbia Records.[3] In early 2021, "Fire for You" reached number one on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.[7]
