Arden was discovered in 1985 by Calgary manager Neil MacGonigill,〔Jann Arden, (''Falling Backwards'' ) (2011), pp. 251-253. Retrrieved 2015-03-30.〕 who worked with her from 1985 to 1998, both managing her career and acting as executive producer of her earlier albums. The two subsequently became estranged.〔Heath McCoy, (Field of dreamers ). ''Calgary Herald'' via Canada.com, June 19, 2007. Retrieved 2015-03-28.〕 Her breakthrough came with her critically acclaimed 1993 debut album ''Time for Mercy'' and her first single "I Would Die For You". Her success grew with 1994's ''Living Under June'', which featured her biggest hit to date outside of Canada, "Insensitive", which was released as a single from the soundtrack to the Christian Slater film ''Bed of Roses'' (number 12 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100). Another single from that same album, "Could I Be Your Girl", has also had significant, and consistent airplay on Canadian adult contemporary radio since its release, and featured a dance remix version which circulated on pop radio at the time.〔(Ilovethatsong.com )〕 Subsequent albums include 1997's ''Happy?'', 2000's ''Blood Red Cherry'', and 2003's ''Love Is the Only Soldier''.

In 2005, she released her eighth album (her sixth album of new material); self-titled ''Jann Arden''. In 1998, respondents to ''Chart'' magazine's year-end reader's poll named Arden the Canadian celebrity most deserving of her own talk show. As part of her public honesty about her family life, she has revealed that one of her brothers is serving a life sentence in prison, and that her song "Hangin' by a Thread" is dedicated to him. Arden released her ninth album, ''Uncover Me,'' on February 6, 2007. This album was her first comprising cover songs exclusively, except for one original piece, "Counterfeit Heart". This was followed by her ''Uncover Me Tour'' across Canada during the spring of 2007.〔(Ectoguide.org )〕 On the weekend of March 24, 2007, Arden was admitted to intensive care for heart related concerns, diagnosed as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, a condition commonly associated with acute stress and exhaustion. She had a 2007 USA summer tour with Michael Bublé. In 2010, they also carried the Olympic torch.〔(VancouverSun.com )〕 She co-wrote his 2013 song "Close Your Eyes". In September 2009, Arden released her tenth album, ''Free'', and its first single, "A Million Miles Away," in June. She then undertook a cross-country Canadian tour, which began in November 2009. She toured with proceeds going to the "Raise-a-Reader Concert Series".〔(NationalPost.com )〕 In November 2010, Arden released her first ever live CD and DVD set, entitled ''Spotlight''.
