In mid-2011, Rossum starred in D. J. Caruso's social film, Inside; the online film aired in several segments, incorporating multiple social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. The following year, Rossum played Ridley, a siren Caster in Beautiful Creatures (2013), based on the young adult fantasy novel of the same name. Although the film was released to mixed reviews, Rossum's performance was praised by critics and fans.{{Citation needed|date=April 2018}} She also starred in the drama You're Not You as Bec, an inexperienced caregiver who looks after and befriends Kate (Hilary Swank), who suffers from the degenerative disease ALS. By June 2013, Rossum was cast as the female lead opposite Justin Long in the independent romantic comedy Comet, which was directed by Sam Esmail, to whom she later became engaged.{{cite news| last= Fleming|first=Mike|title='Shameless' Star Emmy Rossum And Justin Long Lead 'Comet' Cast|url=https://deadline.com/2013/06/shameless-star-emmy-rossum-and-justin-long-lead-comet-cast-514404/|work=Deadline Hollywood|access-date=July 3, 2012|date=June 5, 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130617135012/http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/shameless-star-emmy-rossum-and-justin-long-lead-comet-cast/|archive-date=June 17, 2013|url-status=live}} Afterward she appeared in the film Before I Disappear (2014), based on the Academy Award-winning short film Curfew.{{cite news|last=Yamato|first=Jen|title=Paul Wesley, Emmy Rossum, Ron Perlman Set For Feature Adaptation of Oscar-Winning Short 'Curfew'|url=https://deadline.com/2013/07/paul-wesley-emmy-rossum-ron-perlman-oscar-short-curfew-shawn-christensen-541194/|access-date=August 1, 2013|work=Deadline Hollywood|date=July 15, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130723015620/http://www.deadline.com/2013/07/paul-wesley-emmy-rossum-ron-perlman-oscar-short-curfew-shawn-christensen/|archive-date=July 23, 2013|url-status=live}}

In 2019, it was announced that Rossum would star in Angelyne, a drama series co-produced by her husband and longtime collaborator Sam Esmail, for Peacock, the new streaming service by NBC. The limited series was her first lead role after Shameless and was based on The Hollywood Reporter senior writer Gary Baum's investigative feature on the LA billboard model Angelyne.{{cite news|last=Goldberg|first=Lesley|title='Angelyne' Drama Based on Hollywood Reporter Article Joins NBCU's Streaming Slate|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/angelyne-drama-based-hollywood-reporter-article-joins-nbcus-streaming-slate-1240215/|access-date=December 29, 2019|work=The Hollywood Reporter|date=September 17, 2019|archive-date=December 20, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191220175923/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/angelyne-drama-based-hollywood-reporter-article-joins-nbcus-streaming-slate-1240215|url-status=live}}

After her role in The Phantom of the Opera, Rossum was offered several deals to record Classical music albums, but refused, opting to create an album of contemporary, more mainstream music. She explained it by feeling frustrated because of the lack of "emotional honesty" in music played in radios. Regarding the sound and style of her music, she said, "It's pop music, but not Britney Spears bubblegum pop. I want it to have a David Gray or Annie Lennox feel. I've been spending up to 12 hours a day in the studio." Rossum cites Sarah McLachlan, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and Faith Hill as some of her influences.{{cite news|last=Morales|first=Wilson|title=Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera: An Interview with Emmy Rossum|url=http://www.blackfilm.com/20041217/features/emmyrossum.shtml|access-date=May 16, 2013|newspaper=blackfilm.com|date=December 17, 2004|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120329034203/http://www.blackfilm.com/20041217/features/emmyrossum.shtml|archive-date=March 29, 2012|url-status=live}}

Rossum's album Inside Out was produced by Stuart Brawley. It was released on October 23, 2007, and peaked at 199 in the U.S. Billboard charts. For the promotion of the record, Geffen Records featured the song, "Slow Me Down," as part of the second volume of Hollywood Records' Girl Next compilation album, which was released on July 10, 2007. Later that year, she was chosen as Yahoo's "Who's Next" artist of the month and a "One to Watch" by MSN. In December 2007, Rossum released three Christmas songs on the EP Carol of the Bells. It was also this year that Rossum sang the national anthem at the Save Mart 350 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race at Infineon Raceway and performed at the first ever Perez Hilton Presents event at the El Rey Theatre in Hollywood. On October 27, 2007, Rossum again sang the national anthem at the New Jersey Devils's first home game of the 2007–08 NHL season, which was also the first game the team played in the newly constructed Prudential Center.
