At the age of 16, Bella Paige auditioned for the seventh season of The Voice Australia singing Kesha's "Praying". All four coaches, Boy George, Kelly Rowland, Delta Goodrem and Joe Jonas, turned their chairs for her. Paige chose to be part of Team Kelly.

In the Knockout rounds, Paige defeated fellow team members Somer Smith and Ricky Nifo with her rendition of "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars, and advanced to the Battle rounds. In the Battles, she competed against Erin Whetters as the two sang "Sorry Not Sorry" by Demi Lovato. Rowland deemed Paige the winner and advanced her to the live shows.

On the first week of the live shows, Paige performed the song "Never Enough" by Loren Allred. She was saved by the public vote and advanced to the Top 12.

Her performances included covers of "no tears left to cry" by Ariana Grande in the Top 12 week, "Chandelier" by Sia in the Top 11 week, and "All by Myself" by Celine Dion in the Semi-Finals week. All these performances charted in the Australian iTunes chart.
