Background and development
In November 2010, Coyle released her debut studio album, Insatiable. Coyle collaborated with producers such as Toby Gad, Guy Chambers and William Orbit. Upon its release, the album received generally mixed to unfavourable reviews from music critics, and was met with limited commercial success due to an exclusive distribution through Tesco stores.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11199969|title=Nadine Coyle to release debut album on her own label|author=Savage|first=Mark|date=6 September 2010|work=BBC News|accessdate=7 July 2019|publisher=BBC}}
Wanting to release a potential follow-up record, Coyle announced that she and Brian Higgins of Xenomania had begun working on new material in 2014. In the following year, she confirmed that she was recording the album and that it would be released the same year, but production was halted and the album was never completed.{{Cite web|url=https://www.digitalspy.com/music/a637048/nadine-coyle-working-on-new-london-grammar-like-album/#~p7IA7M6lRU5k6e|title=Nadine Coyle working on new 'London Grammar-like' album|last=Fletcher|first=Harry|date=22 March 2015|website=Digital Spy|access-date=7 July 2019}}

Critical reception
Lauren O'Neill of Noisey UK described the EP as "unabashed British pop" and has kept a "formula of relative timelessness" comparable to that of Girls Aloud's.{{cite web|url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/nadine-coyles-ep-nadine-is-unabashed-british-pop/|title=Nadine Coyle's EP 'Nadine' Is Unabashed British Pop|date=22 March 2018|publisher=}}
