Master of My Make-Believe is the second studio album by American recording artist Santigold. It was released in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2012 and in the United States on May 1, 2012, by Downtown Records and Atlantic Records. The cover art representing four incarnations of Santigold was designed by Jason Schmidt. The record was produced with a wide range of different collaborators, songwriters and producers; including her long-time friends of Switch and Diplo, as well as David Andrew Sitek of TV on the Radio and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Master of My Make-Believe was preceded by two singles: "Big Mouth" and "Disparate Youth". The song "Go" (featuring Karen O) premiered in April 2011, but was not available for purchase until the album was released in 2012. The album earned Santigold her first number one on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums, and reached number 21 on the US Billboard 200 and number 33 on the UK Albums Chart. In May 2012, Santigold posted a photo on Instagram from the set of the video for "The Keepers", announcing it would be the next single. "The Keepers" was released on iTunes on June 22, 2012.
