[2] Speaking to BBC Radio 1 about the song, Sigrid said: "Fort Knox is a song for everyone who's angry, who's been hurt. It's joyous, it's energetic. [...] I made it in Bergen, in Norway, in the same studio I've made so much music. So it's just really exciting." [3] Dork wrote that the song covers "infatuation, heartbreak and reflection and "channels post-break-up fury". [6] DIY wrote that the single is a "pulsing, synth-led instant earworm". [7]
