==Background and composition==
''The Cherrytree Sessions'' is a series of EPs first envisaged by Cherrytree Records label head and producer Martin Kierszenbaum in order to promote his artists.〔 With the assistance of Tony Ugval, Kierszenbaum was able to secure footage and music recordings of several performances from artists on the label's roster. Following requests from fans of the label's music, Kierszenbaum decided to release them commercially, and stated that "before long, we found ourselves with an extraordinary collection of recordings: intimate at times, unexpected at others."
Gaga's performances for ''The Cherrytree Sessions'' was first released as a video posted to the label's website. It begins with Gaga and producer Space Cowboy surprising Kierszenbaum in his office, known as The Cherrytree House. After discussing her international travels, Gaga performed an acoustic version of "Brown Eyes" at the piano where she had sung for Kierszenbaum the first time they met. She and Space Cowboy then performed a stripped down version of "Just Dance" on their keyboards, before Gaga returned to the piano for an acoustic version of "Poker Face".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Live at The Cherrytree House )〕 The performance coincided with Gaga reaching number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot Digital Songs chart with "Just Dance" in 2008, and was available for streaming as a webisode on the Cherrytree Records website.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Live at The Cherrytree House )〕
The EP itself consists of three tracks recorded live from the event, all of which had previously been successful singles released from Gaga's first studio album, ''The Fame'' (2008). Allmusic compared the "solo piano rendition" of "Poker Face" to the style of cabaret, while "Just Dance" had only synths as its instrumentation. The final song, "Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)" makes use of keyboards and beatboxing,〔 which is performed by Space Cowboy.
