In April 2020, Poetri released a single titled "Straight To You." Speaking on the music video, Poetri stated "I decided to do a fun project where I used a green screen to make a video at home since we couldn't really shoot a full-on production during this time. I got very into it and made a full music video all by myself in my room and edited it really intensely over 48 hours!"

In December 2020, Poetri released her single "Selfish." It was the first and only single to be released from her debut EP ''AM:PM''.
