In July, 2011, Jessie J teased her fans via her official Twitter profile whilst posting 21-second clip of the song. Domino officially premiered on 16 August 2011 on Jessie J official YouTube account. During an interview with MTV Buzzworthy, Jessie J further explained the concept behind the song, People have heard Domino and said its nothing like you. But Im like well the albums really eclectic anyway, and I never go into the studio and say I wanna do another song thats like Price Tag or another song like Do It Like a Dude. In the same interview Jessie J unveiled that she listened to Whitney Houston and Prince a lot, so she came up with an idea to write a song that is timeless, fun and uplifting. The song was released as lead single from the platinum edition of Jessie Js debut album Who You Are and fifth overall.
