Simultaneously with playback singing, she has recorded many songs as a pop singer, with album releases. Chinai was noted for her 1996 hit single and album, titled "Made in India", which contains another well-known song, "Lover Girl." Throughout her successful years, she had a number of hits in Indian films, including ''Roundhe'' (Pyar Tune Kya Kiya), ''Sona Sona Roop Hai'' (Bollywood/Hollywood), and the controversial ''Mujhe Log Bole'' (Khuddar). However, her follow-up albums were less successful.
Alisha's return to film music was with the song "Oh My Darling" in the Yash Raj Film ''Mujhse Dosti Karoge''. She then teamed up with Anu Malik after stating she would never work with him again in 1995.
Another high point in her career came with the song ''Kajra Re'' (''Bunty Aur Babli''). The song was a hit and Alisha won the Filmfare Best Female Playback Award. Her most famous songs have been represented by actresses Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai.
