Rexha has also seen success with several collaborations including "Hey Mama" (with David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Afrojack), "Me, Myself & I" (with G-Eazy), "In the Name of Love" (with Martin Garrix), and "Meant to Be" (featuring Florida Georgia Line), the latter of which had wide success as a country crossover single, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. Rexha's debut studio album, Expectations (2018), reached number 13 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States and saw the success of its lead single, "I'm a Mess", and brought Rexha two nominations for Best New Artist and Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 61st Grammy Awards.[11][12] Rexha released her second studio album, Better Mistakes, in 2021.

She said, "My parents are Albanian, and people started calling me 'Bebe' for short."[6] She and her family moved to nearby Staten Island when she was six.[18] Rexha has a brother named Florent.[19][20]

Rexha took trumpet lessons and later taught herself to play guitar and piano.[21][22] She attended Tottenville High School in Staten Island. Rexha sang in the choir there and took part in a variety of musicals.[23][9][17][22] While in high school choir, she discovered that she is a coloratura soprano.[24][25] Rexha cites Coldplay, the Cranberries, Lauryn Hill, Alanis Morissette, and Kanye West as being musical influences.[26][27]

Rexha earned the "Best Teen Songwriter" award; about 700 were in the competition.[18][28][29] As a result, she signed a contract with talent scout Samantha Cox, who encouraged her to enroll in songwriting classes in Manhattan.[21][30]
