Jet gave Melbourne a sneak preview of "She's a Genius" at a secret show in November 2008, months before they unveiled it in April 2009 as the lead single from their third album, Shaka Rock, together with the record's title and cover art. In between, the Australian rockers played it at the Sound Relief concerts in Melbourne and Sydney that March, shows staged for the victims of the Black Saturday bushfires.

The song got around. It went gold in Australia for more than 35,000 shipments, showed up as a free track in the iPhone game Tap Tap Revenge 2 and, from 25 August, as a download for Rock Band, and made an appearance on NCIS in the episode "Reunion". Its chorus even found work in RTÉ's National Lottery ads.
