Dolla gained pre-debut public attention for their performance at the #RapstarEra Final, at The Bee Republika.[6] On 20 March 2020, they released their debut single "Dolla Make You Wanna", produced by Australian composer and producer Bryan B, and composed by Zamaera, Bryan B, Shou Raion, and Luca Sickta.
