Background

Her Majesty & the Wolves was formed when former Pussycat Dolls member, dancer and singer Kimberly Wyatt and former Jupiter Rising member, MC and producer Spencer Nezey met in Los Angeles, California in 2010. Kimberly, while working on her debut album, became frustrated when most of the producers that she worked with were focusing on "making something that people will listen to now". Whereas Nezey wanted to make something that "people will listen to in the future", which Kimberly agreed with. They signed to Chime Entertainment and released debut single "Glaciers" in August 2010. They started recording album in Los Angeles that year and finished following year. In 2010, they released mixtape Her Majesty & the Wolves Presents: Spring 2010 Mixtape.
