In 2004, Higgins released the song "Ten Days" which documented her feelings following a break-up with her boyfriend before she travelled to Europe after leaving high school. Though they later reconciled, the relationship ended and subsequently inspired the lyrics for "Peachy".[1] The song was written in half an hour at a friend's house where Higgins locked herself in a room with a guitar.[1] She said of the song, "[i]t's all those mind games you play with someone you've just broken up with [...] They're pretending they've moved on; you're pretending you have, too, but neither of you has. It's ridiculous."[1]

The song was recorded in 2006 in Los Angeles at producer Mitchell Froom's home studio. The music video was directed by shot by Paul Goodman and Alice Bell.[2]
