Siwa began auditioning for Abby Lee Miller's ALDC dance competition team in 2014 and was selected for the team in early 2015. At the same time, she began to appear on the Lifetime reality show Dance Moms, which follows the ALDC team. She departed the team and the show in 2016.

Siwa's single, "Boomerang", was released in May 2016 for digital download and followed a previous single, "I Can Make You Dance". "Boomerang" addresses the subject of online bullying. The music video for the song has been viewed more than 380 million times and received over 2.1 million likes. In 2016, Siwa released her own line of accessories, including her signature hair bows. The bows caused a minor controversy in the United Kingdom after being banned from several public schools, who cited the distraction the bows caused.
