They released their debut single, "Girl Class", in July 2023,[4][5] a track comprising a phone call in which Regan tells a girl how to be one,[1] and the title track to their April 2024 debut EP The Girl Class EP.[1] They followed this with the single "Went on T" in August 2024, a track about starting testosterone,[6] and then with "Fishy" in October 2024[1] and "Delancey" and "Old Grimes" in March 2025. The last of these referenced Grimes, though was otherwise unrelated.[7] All four featured on their April 2025 debut album Um Comma Jennifer Question Mark, which was released on Final Girl Records (a limited-release vinyl was produced in partnership with Trans Music Archive).[8][9][10] and promoted with a video for album track "So Sick!".[2][11] A further single, "Stunning", was released in November 2025.[12]
Both members of Um, Jennifer? are transgender[13] and characterize their music as "slut rock".[7] Scarpati briefly studied at The New School.[1] Their music often explores themes related to LGBTQ+ rights, transgender identity, and relationships.[1][6][14] The pair reference several influences to their lyrics and music, including Dennis Cooper, Larry Kramer, St. Vincent,[13] The Velvet Underground, Mitski, and The Strokes;[15] Scarpati is additionally influenced by the Great American Songbook and early vocal jazz.[2]
