2012–present: Treat Me Right
Bromfield recorded a new track, named 'Black Butterfly', in honour of Amy Winehouse. She told Sunday Mirror, "I want to continue Amy's legacy. It's an awful lot of pressure but it's also a massive compliment to think that I can. I was the last person she was with on stage and automatically people felt like that was saying something... There was a black butterfly that flew in at Amy's funeral and it landed on Kelly Osbourne's shoulder. It stayed there for the whole service then flew out as soon as the service had finished. It's probably the best song I've ever written, and I was crying when I recorded it." Winehouse's father, Mitch Winehouse, has also written about seeing the same butterfly in Amy, My Daughter.[15]
In November 2015, she supported US girl group Fifth Harmony on their UK gigs in London and Manchester.
In 2021, Bromfield featured in the documentary Amy Winehouse & Me: Dionne's Story in regards to the tenth anniversary of Amy Winehouse's death.[16] She also released a single called Silly Love.
