In February 2009, she officially changed her stage name to Santigold as a result of infomercial jeweller Santo Gold threatening legal action against White and her label Downtown Records.
White was lead singer of the Philadelphia-based punk rock band Stiffed, but while in the band, she was offered a solo contract. Working with fellow Stiffed member John Hill as co-producer, she recorded her debut album, Santogold, which was released in April 2008. Upon the change of her stage name, her label Downtown Records issued this press release:
"Change the graffiti on the bathroom wall, get your tattoo fixed, get your T-shirt airbrushed and change the name on your year-end list: Santogold is now Santigold. She's not telling you why, that's just how it is."

Santigold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't get enough of myself
If I wasn't me, I can be sure I'd wanna be
I'm pretty major and I'll say it out loud
Living a, living a fantasy
Live in, I live in my vanity
Hey mom, hey do you see me now?
I call what I see And if I judge by my selfie
Look at my neighbors I'm the best thing around
Living a, living a fantasy
Live in, I live in my vanity
Hey Mom, hey do you see me now?
(Ohh) All I want to do is what I do well
Ain't a gambler but honey I'd put money on myself
(Ohh) All I want to do is bottle it to sell
'Cause my brand of vainglory is much better for your health
Ohh whoa
I can't get enough
I'ma say it, it's true
I can't get enough of myself
Ohh whoa
I can't get enough
I don't know about you but

Ha ha, funny me life of the party, VIP
Got so much flavor put me on the buffet
Look at them, look at them liking me
Look at them, look, what a sight to see
So hot, they be wiping me down
Who now could it be? Calling the paparazzi
Well, since you're here now baby fire away
Look at them, look at them liking me
Look at them, look, what a sight to see
So hot, they be wiping me down

She talks about living in a fantasy world where she is the best thing around and the center of attention. In the chorus, she acknowledges that she loves herself so much that she can't get enough of her own reflection.
