That same day, she released the EP, Zella Day, onto digital outlets. The EP features its lead single "Sweet Ophelia", along with the songs "Hypnotic", "East of Eden", and "Compass", although "1965" was left out for unknown reasons. The EP received critical acclaim, Addy Stupin from The Harborlight gave the EP high praise, as "incredibly satisfying and impressive". The extended play also peaked at #16 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.

One of the songs from the EP, "Hypnotic", served as one of iTunes' ingles of the Week where it was available for free download. "Hypnotic" was later released as the EP's second single. A music video was released onto VEVO on February 27, 2015, and has since accumulated over 3 million views. In early 2015, Day announced that her debut album was titled Kicker and was released on June 2, 2015, under Hollywood Records. It was received favorably and got featured on the iTunes New Release page. Day's song "Sacrifice" appeared on The Divergent Series: Insurgent – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. Making her national television debut on June 10, 2015, Zella Day and her band appeared on the Conan Show and performed her song "High".
