Kimbra has said many times that she chose the singles for this album by visualizing music videos for each of the songs and chose the top six ideas. She found Nina Simone as a huge inspiration for the track Plain Gold Ring. She wanted the album to have an overall jazzy feel, thus trying make a record that pushes boundaries but still be considered 'pop music'. Musically, Kimbra was heavily influenced by Björk, The Mars Volta, Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright and others during the creation of Vows. The songs on the record follow a theme of love, loss, romance and want.

Kimbra recorded the album at her home and other various studios throughout Australia. The album's lead single Settle Down was the earliest song she had written, being when she was sixteen years old. Kimbra started recording and writing the album in 2008.

Shortly after being discovered by Mark, she moved to Melbourne, Australia to follow her path in the music industry, signing with Forum 5. Kimbra was originally discovered by her soon-to-be manager, Mark Richardson at the age of 17.
