In 2010, La Rose got her first opportunity when she signed a deal with Aaliyah's former label Blackground Records, while being distributed by Interscope Records, as part of a musical duo named Amsterdam with dancer Sigourney Korper, who debuted in the music video for label mate J. Lewis and Flo Rida's "Dancing for Me". However, she says of this situation: "The group didn't work out, and no music was released. It just wasn't the right time."
In 2011, La Rose appeared as the leading female dancer in Lloyd's "Dedication to My Ex (Miss That)".{{cite web|title=Natalie La Rose "Just Wanted To Perform," Talks Early Stages of Music Career with DJ Toro|url=http://923amp.cbslocal.com/2014/12/29/natalie-la-rose-just-wanted-to-perform-talks-early-stages-of-music-career-with-dj-toro/|website=923amp.cbslocal.com|access-date=21 June 2015|date=29 December 2014|archive-date=21 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150621175208/http://923amp.cbslocal.com/2014/12/29/natalie-la-rose-just-wanted-to-perform-talks-early-stages-of-music-career-with-dj-toro/|url-status=live}} In the same year, while at an ESPY Awards after party, she went up to Flo Rida and told him that she was going to work with him one day. Impressed with La Rose's confidence, the multi-platinum international superstar invited her to the studio. Over the next two years, she performed with Flo Rida around the world.
In 2013, La Rose officially signed a deal with his International Music Group (IMG) label and Republic Records.
On December 22, 2014, she released her debut single, "Somebody" (featuring Jeremih).
