"Cheerleader" first surfaced on September 9, 2011, days ahead of Strange Mercy, the third studio album by St. Vincent, which 4AD put out in Britain on September 12, with the American release following the next day. She wrote it alone, words and music, and John Congleton produced.
The album around it was hers right down to the sleeve, which she designed herself, with Tina Tyrell taking the photograph. It drew serious critical acclaim and became her highest-charting album up to that point, and Pitchfork later placed it 23rd on its list of the best albums of the decade so far.
