Her songs have occasionally combined comedy and horror to form dark humour, such as murder by poisoning in “Coffee Homeground”, an alcoholic mother in “Ran Tan Waltz” and the upbeat “The Wedding List”, a song inspired by François Truffaut’s 1967 film of Cornell Woolrich’s The Bride Wore Black about the death of a groom and the bride’s subsequent revenge against the killer.

Bush attended St Joseph’s Convent Grammar School, a Catholic girls’ school in nearby Abbey Wood which, in 1975, after she had left, became part of St Mary’s and St Joseph’s School in Sidcup. During this time her family produced a demo tape with over 50 of her compositions, which was turned down by record labels. Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour received the demo from Ricky Hopper, a mutual friend of Gilmour and the Bush family. Impressed, Gilmour helped the sixteen-year-old Bush record a more professional demo tape. Three tracks in total were recorded and paid for by Gilmour. The tape was produced by Gilmour’s friend Andrew Powell, who went on to produce Bush’s first two albums, and sound engineer Geoff Emerick, who had worked with the Beatles. The tape was sent to EMI executive Terry Slater, who signed her.

Bush wrote and made demos of almost 200 songs, some of which circulated as bootlegs. From March to August 1977, she fronted the KT Bush Band at public houses in London. The band included Del Palmer (bass), Brian Bath (guitar), and Vic King (drums). She began recording her first album in August 1977.
