Lemme is born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She is Italian-Canadian, with her second-generation Canadian parents being both of Italian descent (from Calabria and Abruzzo). Her first language growing up was Italian; once in Quebec's francophone school system, she began speaking primarily French at home. At the age of 2, she first became drawn to music when trying to learn the Addams Family theme song on her grandmother's piano. Betta Lemme attended post-secondary school majoring in photography and film. Before pursuing a career in music, she worked multiple jobs related to fashion and photography including being a model, working as an independent booking agent and as a social media consultant. She had been writing and playing music in Montreal, but after being told by a college music professor that she wouldn't be able to study music due to not being able to read music notes and being rejected from music school, she eventually decided to move to New York in 2016 as an attempt to pursue a career in music and find collaborators on her own. While living in New York, Betta happened to rent from Tucker Halpern of the American DJ duo Sofi Tukker. Their friendship led to music collaboration.

On July 8, 2016, Betta Lemme was featured on a single titled Awoo which she co-wrote with American DJ duo Sofi Tukker. It was released on the duo's self-published debut EP Soft Animals. On October 17 of the same year, a music video for Awoo was released by Ultra Music. The music video with Betta includes dance choreography by her which is also performed live during shows with Sofi Tukker. Lemme's debut single "Bambola" was released officially on 10 November 2017. The official video released on the same day has reached over 82 million views on YouTube.

She appeared as a guest performer on The Voice of Italy 2018, singing "Bambola" with the three finalists. On August 10, 2018, she released Bambola EP. On June 25, 2021, Betta Lemme released the LGBT-themed song "Girls" coming out about her sexuality. Betta Lemme released the song and music video for Dance Til Forever, premiering on Rolling Stones Italia on March 8, 2024. After facing years of challenges with releasing her music while preserving creative autonomy under the terms of her record label contract with Ultra Music, this release marked a new chapter for the singer as an independent artist. The song Dance Til Forever explores themes of freedom after a break-up and the music video includes imagery of paperwork and contracts, alluding to Lemme's freedom from bad contracts with her former label. The second song Getaway was released on June 7, 2024. The first single Is Anyone Out There? from the upcoming EP Good Mourning was released on November 15, 2024. The second single and the title track was released on April 18, 2025. The EP was released on May 30, 2025. On September 5, 2025, Betta Lemme released the song and music video for "Gelosia" featuring Italian rapper BigMama. Like "Bambola", the track is sung in English, Italian and French. It was written by Lemme, BigMama and Ludovica Lazzerini and produced by Lemme and Fiodor Fogliatti.
