Background and development
Production for Day's self-titled EP began shortly after she moved to Las Vegas in 2012. The majority of the song writing and production took place during April 2014 in Los Angeles. Many of the songs from the eponymous EP would be featured on Kicker. In addition to "Sweet Ophelia", and the b-side "1965", "East of Eden" was also produced during this period by the Wax Ltd team of Wally Gagel and Xandy Barry.

Kicker was released on June 2, 2015 via Pinetop Records and Hollywood Records. The album title references the old Arizona mining town where Day's parents married, while exploring toxic relationships, breakups, broken homes, love and lust. Speaking about the album, Day explained, "The music's spiritual resonance is clearly influenced by the Northern Arizona mountains that sheltered my creative energy from any outside implications of city mentality."
