If We Ever Broke Up entered the Official Singles Chart at 45 two weeks ago, but has now has climbed to a high of 20 on the latest countdown announced on Friday.
The singer, who has been writing since the age of 12, had been working shifts in a local supermarket, but has since quit her job to work on her music full-time.
She said: "It's a bit of shock to be honest, I still can't believe everything that happened to me.
"I feel so lucky to have this in my life and to be blessed as a musician.
"It's so surreal, it feels like I'm in a dream."
Stephens said she was in the process of getting a music video for the song and arranging some live performances.

The singer said her life had become very busy but she was still able to spend time with her family and partner, who she described as "incredible" and "very supportive".
