"Beggin for Thread" was the fourth single Banks pulled from Goddess, her 2014 debut album, sent out by Harvest that July. She wrote it with a small team including Jesse Rogg, who co-produced the track and mixed it himself, and it's a brooding slice of the album's shadowy pop.
It did respectable business, reaching No. 11 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart and scraping onto the charts in Germany and Australia at 64 and 80. Banks gave it its television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live on August 4, 2014.
