What We Saw from the Cheap Seats is the sixth studio album by American alternative singer-songwriter Regina Spektor. On November 21, 2011, Spektor posted on her Facebook page that the album had been recorded with Mike Elizondo in Los Angeles during the summer of 2011. It was released on May 29, 2012.^[1] The album is a collection of new material alongside the first studio recordings of several songs Spektor had previously only performed live.

By the time of the album's release, "Jessica" was the only song that was entirely new to fans: an earlier recording of "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)" had been included on Spektor's album Songs, and the rest of the songs had already been performed live, with "How" and "The Party" making their debut just weeks earlier.
