He grew up with a love of American hip hop, but grew more interested in melody after listening to singers like John Legend, Nat King Cole, and Sam Cooke. He first developed 'Cheerleader' in 2008, when he woke up humming its melody. 'It was like a little Jamaican nursery rhyme, like 'one, two, buckle my shoe,' that kind of thing-'ring game' is what we'd call it. The rest of the song just fell into place like a jigsaw puzzle', he later recalled. The following year, he was discovered by producer Clifton 'Specialist' Dillon, an influential figure in the Jamaican music industry, who subsequently became his manager and collaborator. He originally wrote only two verses for the song, imagining it as an interlude for an album.

Dillon convinced him to create a third verse, and the song began to take shape. Prolific Jamaican rhythm section Sly and Robbie and veteran saxophonist Dean Fraser contributed to the original recording, which was first issued in 2012 on Oufah, an independent label in Kingston.

The following April, Patrick Moxey, president of U.S. electronic music label Ultra Music, discovered the song. According to Moxey, he was vacationing in Montreal when he first heard the song whilst listening to radio promoter showcase songs popular in the Caribbean. Meanwhile, Salaam Remi, an American hip hop producer that owned an imprint at Sony, was also interested in bringing the song to a wider audience.
