In 2013, Palermo released a pre-release cover version of the Icona Pop song "I Love It", which reached #71 on the UK Singles Chart.[6]
Personal life
In December 2014, Palermo started a romantic relationship with Japanese national Manaki Okada. They married in December 2015, and Palermo subsequently emigrated to Japan in February 2016.[7]
In May 2016, Palermo travelled to the Republic of Korea, where she underwent weight loss surgery, despite only weighing 53 kg (117 lb) at the time of the procedure.
