The Elle King EP is an EP by singer-songwriter Elle King, her debut release, released June 12, 2012.[2][3] The song "Playing for Keeps" was used as the theme song for Mob Wives Chicago.[4][2] The second song that King wrote on the banjo, "Good to Be a Man" was the song that got King signed with RCA.[5]

King mixed up various styles on the songs on her EP, from a defiant growl to mournful to lascivious. She doesn't believe that "people listen to albums as a kind of whole, cohesive record anymore, anyway." She thinks that "the one thing that ties through all my different sounds is my voice, and I think we're all just trying to figure out how to tie everything around that."[6]
