Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life In March 2022, it was announced Merced would star in the film adaption of John Green's novel Turtles All the Way Down, with filming beginning in April 2022. On May 22, 2020, Merced released her debut EP, The Better Half of Me and was named one of Billboard's top 15 new Peruvian artists to listen to in July 2020. Her first single, 'Papi', was released on October 25, 2019, followed by her first music video released on November 6, 2019.

Merced later explained that she had not legally changed her name and said that it was 'just a stage name but it's got a deeper meaning'. On October 14, 2019, Merced announced to her fans via a post on her Instagram account that she had decided to change her stage name to Isabela Merced, in memory of her late grandmother whom she never met. The same year, she was cast opposite Jason Momoa in the film Sweet Girl for Netflix. In 2019, Merced starred as the title character in Dora and the Lost City of Gold, a live action film adaptation of the animated series, and was cast in the Christmas romantic comedy ensemble film Let It Snow. In the same year, she played the adopted daughter of the characters played by Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne in the comedy film Instant Family, for which she also wrote and sang the song 'I'll Stay'. The New Yorker's Anthony Lane wrote 'Moner is terrific, and her character’s fortunes can be read in her eyes-blazing to begin with, as she scraps with another girl in a schoolyard, but dark and blank by the end, their youthful fire doused by the violence that she has seen.' In 2018, Merced had a 'major' role in Sicario: Day of the Soldado, playing the daughter of a drug cartel head, in a performance lauded by critics. She voiced Heather in the animated film The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature, which was theatrically released on August 11, 2017. In May 2016, Merced was cast in the film Transformers: The Last Knight, which was released in June 2017.

Merced's first starring performance was as CJ Martin, the lead role on the Nickelodeon television series 100 Things to Do Before High School, from 2014 to 2016. She released an album produced by Broadway Records in September 2015, entitled Stopping Time. Merced made her Broadway debut at age ten in a production of Evita, in which she sang in Spanish with Ricky Martin. Merced has said that she wanted to be an actress from a very young age, inspired by movies featuring Shirley Temple and Judy Garland and starting in local community theatre at age six. A local theatre director urged the family to relocate to New York City, which they did, to help her pursue a career on Broadway. Merced was a Judy Garland fan, so her parents, wanting to distract her from the loss, asked her if she wanted to audition for a local production of The Wizard of Oz. Merced began acting after her family's Cleveland home was destroyed by a fire. At age 15, she was accepted into college. Merced has stated that Spanish was her first language, and she struggled with English when she first started grade school, adding that she considers herself more Peruvian than American. She is the daughter of Katherine, who was born in Lima, Peru, and Patrick Moner, who was born in Louisiana.
