Despite having interest in creating a solo album, McDonald had only worked with the bands Strawpeople and The Headless Chickens for the first few years of her career as she felt unprepared to embark on a solo career. However, after earning enough income from a television role, she was able to move into her own home and dedicate more time to writing songs for the project, inspired by introspective songwriters such as PJ Harvey and Elliott Smith.

Much of A Different Hunger was recorded at London's Metropolis Studios. McDonald referred to recording overseas as "incredibly important" as it allowed her to avoid "making a record with inevitable New Zealand limitations in mind," although some parts were recorded in New Zealand at Auckland's York Street, Airforce, and Echo Studios.

The album had a number of notable collaborators, including New Zealand musicians Greg Johnson, the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, and Jon Toogood and Tom Larkin from Shihad, among others.

The album's title originates from a line in the track "Wish I Was A Man." "George" is a reworked version of the Headless Chickens song that McDonald co-wrote and contributed vocals to in 1994
