In 2018, he released a collaboration with Normani, " Love Lies", which reached number nine on the Hot 100.

The album debuted and peaked at number four on the Billboard 200. On March 3, 2017, Khalid released his debut studio album, American Teen. Themes of fleeting romance and lyrics along the lines of “Coaster”s, “As time passes I’m feeling high/You’re not the one I’m thinking of tonight” begin to pile on, while the lack of diversity in the production and in Khalid’s performances starts to become apparent as one youthful anthem gives way to the next.The discography of American singer-songwriter Khalid consists of two studio albums, one mixtape, one extended play, and 43 singles (including 15 as a featured artist). Listen through all 54 minutes of the album and, well, it might all feel like one big blur. Pick another, and you might start noticing some similarities. Pick any song from “American Teen” at random, and there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself vibing to it. Khalid’s “American Teen” successfully captures the essence of its namesake – from the album’s breezy blitheness to its tendency toward tunnel vision. Khalid’s distinctive singing just never seems to hit any bumps along the way, always sounding right at home atop the album’s bright, somewhat vintage instrumentals, with tracks like “8TEEN” and “Young Dumb & Broke” rising to the top as highlights. It’s hard to find a single track out of the 15 on “American Teen” that doesn’t revolve around a catchy hook, and it’s equally tough to find a bad one. But, just the fact that Khalid’s music is compatible with the most mainstream of mainstream outlets says a lot about how skillfully he’s able to blend soulful R&B with clear-cut pop.
Of course, having his song “Location” appear in Kylie Jenner’s Snapchat story didn’t hurt either.
