"Pancake" is one stop on Scarlet's Walk, the 2002 album Tori Amos called a "sonic novel about a road trip": a concept record that follows Scarlet, a character loosely drawn from Amos herself, across America as the country changed after September 11. It was her seventh album, her first for Epic after parting ways with Atlantic, and her first set of original songs since To Venus and Back.
Amos wrote it, sings it and produced it, with Mac Aladdin, part of the backing band the album cemented, on electric guitar. Mark Hawley and Marcel van Limbeek recorded and mixed it, Adam Spry assisting. The album was cut at Amos's Martian Engineering in Cornwall and steered away from the electronica of From the Choirgirl Hotel and To Venus and Back toward a leaner, live-played sound built around her piano.
