In 2002, she returned to Italy and claimed to fame in the Italian music business releasing her debut album in 2006 and her second album Un tesoro è necessariamente nascosto in 2007 with these singles: "La mia città è cambiata", "La cosa giusta", "La faccia che ho". In 2009, Senhit released her third album, the English language So high. Three singles were released off of the record: "Work Hard", "No More" and "Party on the Dance Floor".
