In January 2024, it was announced that she would take part in the Melodi Grand Prix 2024 together with Super Rob (later revealed to be Gaute Ormåsen) and the song "My AI". With this song she was able to enter the Norwegian singles charts again.

Norwich sings in Norwegian and English. Over time she began to write her Norwegian-language songs in her dialect. She cited singer Synne Vo, who also sings in a dialect, as her inspiration.
