Beach Bunny began as a bedroom-based solo project in 2015 when Lili Trifilio recorded a song titled "6 Weeks". The same year, Trifilio released her first EP, titled Animalism.[3][4] She released her second EP titled Pool Party in 2016.[5] In 2017, she released her third EP titled Crybaby, and Beach Bunny expanded to a full four-piece lineup shortly after.[6] In 2018, Beach Bunny released their fourth EP, titled Prom Queen.[6][7][8][9]

On October 31, 2019, the band announced that they had signed to Mom + Pop Music and released their first full-length album, Honeymoon, on February 14, 2020.[10][11] Honeymoon was met with widespread critical acclaim, appearing on the Best Albums of 2020 lists in both The New York Times, and Rolling Stone.[12] In November 2020, the band released a new single titled "Good Girls (Don't Get Used)".
