The two songs on "What She Doesn't Know" were recorded by Steve Albini in Chicago during the sessions for Nastasia's 2006 album On Leaving.[4] The title track features drumming by Jay Bellerose, who has previously drummed on The Blackened Air and On Leaving. The B-side "Your Red Nose" features drumming by Jim White, who collaborated with Nastasia for 2007's You Follow Me.[2] "What She Doesn't Know" had been performed as early as 2003, five years before its eventual release.[5]

The single was released to positive reviews, with Jamie Rowland of Penny Black Music calling the two songs "brilliant examples of folk songwriting."[2] Psychedelic Folk described the A-Side as a "simple but powerful song."[2] Tobias Kahn of The Skinny called the A-side "beautiful", but said that it "fades away too quickly."[6]
