English indie pop singer-songwriter Kate Nash has recorded songs for three studio albums and guest features. Nash debuted in 2005, uploading several demos to the social networking service Myspace. She released her debut single "Caroline's a Victim" through independent record label Moshi Moshi Records in February 2007. The release brought her to the attention of Fiction Records, which signed her two months later.

Nash then began to work on her debut studio album, Made of Bricks, which was released in August 2007. It reached number one in the United Kingdom and has since been certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. The first single released from the album was "Foundations", which Nash wrote in collaboration with Paul Epworth. They also co-wrote the single "Pumpkin Soup". She collaborated with Alejandro Tovar on "Skeleton Song", co-wrote "Nicest Thing" with Jay Malhotra and penned "Merry Happy" with Anuj Khanna. However, most of the songs were written solely by Nash, including "Birds" and the second single "Mouthwash".

My Best Friend Is You, her second studio album, was released in April 2010. Nash wrote all of its songs, and would continue to do so for her later releases. Inspired by Motown and neo soul music, the album charted at number eight in the UK. It produced four singles: "Do-Wah-Doo", "Kiss That Grrrl", "Later On" and "I've Got a Secret". An extended play titled Death Proof followed in November 2012. It featured a cover version of The Kinks' "All Day and All of the Night". The singer released her third studio album, Girl Talk, in March 2013 through her own label Have 10p Records. The album received favourable reviews from music critics and featured a collaboration with Siobhan Malhotra. At this time, Nash also appeared as a featured artist on Watsky's single "Hey, Asshole" from his album Cardboard Castles (2013).
