"Matilda" is a song by British rock band alt-J from their debut studio album An Awesome Wave, released on January 10, 2012 as a digital download. It was released as a split single with "Fitzpleasure" in February 24 as a digital download and on 10" triangle shaped vinyl. It was written by Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton, Gwilym Sainsbury and Thom Green and produced by Charlie Andrew. The song is a tribute to Matilda Davies, a friend of the band, who was an Art teacher at a grammar school in Kings Heath, Birmingham, who later moved to United Arab Emirates. The song relates to the movie Léon: The Professional, specifically the relationship between the main character (a hitman) and a young girl called Mathilda.[1] The band would later release the song "Leon", a tribute to the main character of the film.
