"Warrior" started life as a commission rather than an album track. It was written for Converse's yearly "Three Artists, One Song" series, which teamed Kimbra with Mark Foster of Foster the People and the Canadian electro house DJ A-Trak, and it first went out as a free download from the project's website. The New Zealand singer later added it to international and special editions of her debut album, Vows, and on 4 May 2012 it became the record's fourth single.
The writing is split four ways between Kimbra, Foster, Isom Innis and Alain Macklovitch. Foster and Innis produced it with A-Trak and handled the mix themselves. Back home it reached number 22 on the New Zealand chart and went all the way to the top of the NZ Artists chart.
