In a statement that came out with the song's release, the band said, "This is easily one of our favorite Brand New tracks here at HQ, and has been echoing through our halls since last November. You may know of this song as ‘Untitled #7’ or ‘Piano Song’ from the leaked demos." [2] The song was written by guitarist Vincent Accardi and lead singer Jesse Lacey, and was produced by Mike Sapone.
Before its release, "(Fork and Knife)" was only played live once, at New Jersey's Starland Ballroom. The single version features slightly altered lyrics and a newly-written bridge. [2]
