She wrote several songs for The Birthday Party before they imploded in 1983. Bad Seeds Lane is sometimes credited as a founding member of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, which was forged from the debris left behind by the Birthday Party's demise.

She wrote the title track to the band's 1984 LP, From Her To Eternity, as well as the song, "Stranger to Kindness" from Your Funeral, My Trial. She also began to perform and record her own songs.

She was joined on the record by Nick Cave, and Bad Seeds' Barry Adamson, Thomas Wydler, and Mick Harvey, who produced. Anita Lane and Mick Harvey With Harvey, Lane has recorded a series of albums that showcased the dichotomy between her baby doll voice and the sexual longing of her lyrics. These include a pair of albums of Serge Gainsbourg's covers, 1995's The Intoxicated Man and 1997's Pink Elephants. Harvey also produced Lane's 1993 collection, Dirty Pearl, which compiled tracks from Lane's work with Einsturzende Neubauten, Die Haut, as well as exclusive album tracks.
