It marked her first release as a lead artist in two years, following the extended play The Hype (2023).[1] Then, a month later, she announced the release of “Fort Knox” for 19 August, as well as announcing that the two songs would be included on her third studio album, There’s Always More That I Could Say (2025).[2] The song received its first radio play from BBC Radio 1 the night prior to its release.[3] Sigrid worked with frequent collaborator Askjell on both the songwriting and production of the track;[4] Michelle Leonard also co-wrote “Fort Knox”, with James Ford lending support on the production.[3]
The lyrical content of “Fort Knox” explores Sigrid’s rage following a heartbreak.[5] It references US army post Fort Knox, noting that she wants to “lock [her] love in a box, and safeguard it like it’s Fort Knox”.[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]
