Faith's third album, A Perfect Contradiction (2014), was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry and spawned the UK top-ten singles "Can't Rely on You" and "Only Love Can Hurt Like This", with the latter topping the charts in Australia. She collaborated with the duo Sigma on the 2014 single "Changing", which charted atop the UK Singles Chart. Her fourth album, The Architect (2017), debuted at number one in the UK, becoming Faith's first number one album. In 2018, she featured on DJ Sigala's single "Lullaby". Her next two albums, Infinite Things (2020) and The Glorification of Sadness (2024), both reached the top-five in the UK.
