It was released in the United Kingdom as a promotional single only. The promotional CD only contains the single. It served as the third single in the United States, following ' Acapella' and ' 4th of July (Fireworks)'. It was selected as the fourth and final single from Flesh Tone, and was released on January 6, 2011, by Will.i.am Music Group and Interscope Records. In an interview with Kelis for the Vevo Webisodes of the album, she said that it was a 'good choice to record it as the last song, because its kind of a nice resolution,' of several emotions she was feeling whilst recording the album. For the tracks instrumentation, Alain Whyte played the acoustic guitar, and the Benassi Bros. This was Kelis' second collaboration with the Benassi Bros., the other being her track 'Emancipate' from the single's parent album, Flesh Tone (2010). It was written by Kelis, with Jean Baptiste, James Fauntleroy, and Will.i.am, while production was handled by Benny Benassi, and his cousin Alle Benassi (known together as the Benassi Bros.)

It reached number 29 on Belgium's Ultratip chart, and number 123 on the UK Singles Chart. Despite this, 'Brave' charted poorly in selected record charts. Several critics highlighted the song as one of her most personal efforts, and selected it as an album standout. The song received universal acclaim from critics, who praised its composition and production. Lyrically, the song is a self-empowerment anthem that discusses several phases of her personal life, including marriage/divorce, self-discovery, and the birth of her son. Throughout the song, Kelis' vocals are heavily processed with autotune and vocoder post-production tools.

The song opens with a slow-pace, until it progresses with electronic dance music.
