Background
After announcing in 2007 that recording was underway for his first studio album, Beauty Killer, Star embarked on his first headlining tour. While on tour, he performed songs written for inclusion on the record, including "Cupcakes Taste like Violence" and a cover of Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me". Star stated in interviews that the latter track featured Trace Cyrus and Mason Musso from Metro Station. However, due to a feud between the band and Star, they were ultimately replaced with Andrew de Torres from Danger Radio.
During the tour, Star announced the names of several songs which would be included on Beauty Killer, including "Picture Perfect!" and "So Fierce". However, these songs did not make the final cut but a remixed version of "Lollipop Luxury" featuring Nicki Minaj is featured on the album. The following summer, Star debuted "So Fierce" on the Vans Warped Tour.
