Background

Agnes stated that the song was "inspired by the sense that nothing is impossible, because nothing is impossible. It's a song that can lift you up to new dimensions and like a peaceful tank it crushes everything in its way. The song does not excuse itself and I don't excuse myself. I welcome you now to my party, and it's my party so... I can do what I want to." [1] "Fingers Crossed" is the first single from an upcoming album, to be released in 2021. [2]

Music video

A music video was first released onto YouTube the same day as the single release. The video was directed by SWIM CLUB, and inspired by the 1973 movie The Holy Mountain . [1]
