Background

A demo version of "(Fork and Knife)" was leaked along with other demos for The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me as "Untitled 07". This demo version was sampled on American singer Halsey's 2020 album Manic, on the track "Alanis' Interlude".[2]

The band has said that the new single version was recorded during the same sessions that produced The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me.

The title of the song, "(Fork and Knife)" is a reference to a restaurant called Fork and Knife which was located underneath the Wantagh station of the LIRR (Long Island Rail Road), the hometown of guitarist Vincent Accardi.

The track peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles Chart and No. 85 on the Billboard Pop 100.[3]
