Tiger Suit is the third studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall which features more contemporary ingredients than her previous work. Several tracks such as "Push That Knot Away" harness electronic beats to her acoustic guitar.

It was released by Relentless Records in Ireland on 24 September 2010, in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2010 and in the United States and Canada on 5 October 2010. It was released in Europe on the 22 and 25 October 2010. The Japanese edition, released on 22 September, features two additional tracks: a cover of LCD Soundsystem's "New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" and "It Doesn't Have to Be Like This (Baby)"

"Fade Like a Shadow" was lead single in the United States and was released on 6 August 2010 via iTunes, while "(Still a) Weirdo" in the United Kingdom was released on 26 September 2010 via iTunes. On July 2010, as advance to the album, Tunstall uploaded via YouTube a non-single video for the song "Push That Knot Away". On 13 December 2010, KT Tunstall made a collaborative video for "Glamour Puss" with fans.

On 25 December 2013, over three years after the album release, and even after her fourth studio album Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon release, Tunstall re-released a song from Tiger Suit as a last single; "Come On, Get In".

On 11 February 2010 reported that, "KT Tunstall has recorded her new album in Berlin's famous Hansa studio. The studio, beside the site of the Berlin Wall, was used to make legendary albums including David Bowie's Heroes and U2's Achtung Baby. KT said: "I had an amazing three weeks recording in Hansa in Berlin in January and am finishing it all off in London." The Scots singer, who has been quiet of late, reassured fans she has been busy. She added: "I am still very much alive and have every music-making limb and muscle working in my laboratory of fierce-new-album-ness." Before her album comes out, KT played a stripped-down set at the Haiti fundraising gig at the Roundhouse in Camden on Thursday 25 February. She hoped to jump up with her old pal Seasick Steve for a song or two. Kt added: "My shizzle will feature some new faces and definitely some new songs, so come and have a listen and chuck some dough at a good cause."
