"Oh!" comes from One Beat, Sleater-Kinney's sixth album, released on Kill Rock Stars in August 2002, and the writing credit goes to all three of them: Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss. John Goodmanson produced it, as he did the whole record, cut at Jackpot! Studio in Portland, Oregon, over March and April 2002 after the band had worked the songs up in Weiss's basement.
One Beat followed the acclaimed All Hands on the Bad One, and it grew out of the aftermath of the September 11 attacks: the band pictured it as a voice breaking the silence. Tucker and Brownstein, who both sing and play guitar, didn't work from blueprints; they built the songs bit by bit, feeding off each other, and critics hailed what came out for its catharsis and its progressive politics.
