Anthony had this to say about the song in a Sirius XM feature:

“Here you have a song called ‘Fake as Fuck.’ A lot of this music was written during lockdown and I was very effected by this huge shift in human consciousness, where we were told not to leave your house, don’t do this and don’t do that and don’t interact with people and don’t be human. And I felt the loss of our humanity at that time, and the lyrics of the song kind of speak to not believing the media, not believing the government, just go outside and see for yourself what’s going on, so that we don’t become these little blobs of former humanity on our couches. Anyways the song is pretty freaking up tempo and fun to dance to.”
