Tones and I is preparing to kiss her career as a live performer goodbye to work behind the scenes of the music industry instead.

The 27-year-old, known for her worldwide hit Dance Monkey, told Gawndy & Maz she plans to step away from the stage because of the toll it takes on her mental health. 

'I don't know how much longer I'm going to be Tones and I for,' she said, adding that she wants to become a songwriter for other artists in the next few years.

'I mean, realistically, I'm going to give myself another four years [of performing] and then I want to be a songwriter,' she continued. 

'As soon as my mental health isn't wanting to do this, I'm stopping. I'm not pushing through this, I want to be happy.'

Last week, the songstress revealed that the first year of her global fame led to her feeling like she was 'gross' and unattractive.
