"She Plays Bass" was the opening shot for Space Cadet, the fourth EP from Filipino-born English songwriter Beabadoobee: she put it out as the lead single in August 2019, with "I Wish I Was Stephen Malkmus", her nod to Pavement's Stephen Malkmus, following in September. Dirty Hit then released the EP on 14 October 2019, four days ahead of schedule.
Beabadoobee wrote the whole EP herself, and Pete Robertson of the Vaccines and Joseph Rodgers served as executive producers on all five tracks. Space Cadet followed Lice and Patched Up, both from 2018, and Loveworm from earlier in 2019, and she kept the rollout low-key, telling Nylon she had only ever mentioned the title here and there at shows and in interviews, never properly announced it.
