People are going to be like, 'What do you mean, you want to fuck all your friends?' But it's like, you don't a director of a movie, 'It's so awkward that you wrote a film about murdering prostitutes.' It's made up!' Critical reception I was doing it because that's what you do when you're angry, you curse and scream. I wasn't swearing because I think it's cool, or because I couldn't think of anything to say. But the performance and the lyrics and how abrasive they are - that was my point. Normally I would cross out the line I would have kept that to myself. A lot of it is about expectations of me - as someone's girlfriend, as someone's friend, as someone in a band, as someone with a platform, as a woman. I'd just read that book, Our Band Could Be Your Life, about American hardcore, and I really wanted to make a three-minute, angry song. Foals were in the dressing room next to me, and I was thinking, I wonder if they can hear me screaming 'I wanna fuck all the people I meet'? I must have had so much rage inside me, and it just came out. I didn't want anyone to hear me shouting, so I was shouting like a mouse into the microphone. I was in my dressing room - we were playing on this radio show, and there were lots of bands. I wrote it really quickly, and I didn't refine it.

In an interview with The Fader, Rowsell stated: 'I was on tour, and I'd been on tour for about one thousand years at that point.

Fan-shot videos of the performance were uploaded to YouTube before being removed for copyrights violation. The band had performed the song previously on 8 April 2016 in Columbus, Ohio as part of their US tour in support of their debut album, My Love Is Cool. After its premiere, the song was released to streaming services and digital retailers.

The band has later confirmed that it was their new single and that it would be premiered by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 on that date. A few days later, posters for 'Yuk Foo' with a 12 June release date were spotted by fans in London. On May 2017, the band started teasing their return by sending fans on their mailing list cryptic postcards with lyrics and song titles, including 'Yuk Foo', which they later posted themselves on their Twitter account. It was released on 12 June 2017 through Dirty Hit as the album's lead single. ' Yuk Foo' is a song by English alternative rock band Wolf Alice from their second studio album Visions of a Life.
