Scary Fragile is the second album by Australian singer–songwriter Butterfly Boucher.
After touring as an opening act for Sarah McLachlan's Afterglow tour, Boucher was called to the studio by her record label Geffen Records in 2004 to record the follow-up to her album Flutterby. Spending over a year deciding on producer David Kahne and waiting for him to become available, Boucher did most of the pre-production for the album at her home studio, doing the guitar, bass guitar, electronic keyboard, lead vocals and backing vocals Production for the album began on October 24, 2005. Although Boucher had intended to record the album with a live band, the idea was abandoned after Kahne listened to the demos Boucher had produced, and liked her playing all the instruments herself.
Scary Fragile was originally completed in January 2006. Claiming to not "want to be too deep" about her album titles, Boucher states the title was chosen because "it didn't mean anything", and "can mean whatever you want as well." The other title considered for the album was Just Because.
Not knowing how to market the album, Geffen stalled on releasing Scary Fragile before offering Boucher to affiliate Polydor Records to release the album in the United Kingdom first. After the album was found to be too "American-sounding" for the UK, Boucher re-recorded the album for the UK market with a Swedish producer. In February 2007, the album track "A Bitter Song" was used on the hit American television series Grey's Anatomy during a pivotal season arch, after which it was released as a single on iTunes. The re-recorded album was completed in June 2007, at which point Boucher began previewing one-off album tracks at irregular intervals on her MySpace page, on what she referred to as "Oops Days".
