'The Fallen' was used by the NFL on Fox for promos during the 2011 NFL season. Four years was the typical length of a parliament before five-year fixed term legislation was passed in 2011.

'Number ten' here refers to 10 Downing Street, the address of the UK Prime Minister. The song contains the lyric: I'd no idea that in four years I'd be hanging from a beam behind the door of number ten, singing 'fare thee well, I am leaving, yes I leave it all to you'. The song 'You're the Reason I'm Leaving' is believed to be a dual-meaning track it can be read as a typical relationship-centered song, but also as being a lighthearted political commentary on the rivalry between former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and former UK Prime Minister (then- Chancellor of the Exchequer) Gordon Brown. In particular, the cover image is a direct copy of Rodchenko's of Lilya Brik.

Then we started laughing when we realized that the album hadn't been manufactured yet and we could change it after all.' The title was also initially reported as the lengthy You Could Have It So Much Better. We talked about how we liked that idea a lot and that it was a real shame that the album wasn't going to have a title.

However, on 1 August it was revealed that the band had changed their minds and decided to give the album a name. At one level they looked good together, and they capture the mood of this record quite well.' We experimented with different combinations of colours and this one stuck. The contrast of different colours creates a different mood. He added, 'The albums are going to be identified by their colour schemes rather than a title. We decided quite a while ago that we didn't want to give any of the albums titles, they were just going to be called 'Franz Ferdinand'.' Singer Alex Kapranos explained, 'The whole point is that the album doesn't have a title. Initially it was reported that the album would simply be eponymous like the debut album, 2004's Franz Ferdinand. It was produced by Rich Costey and Franz Ferdinand. The cover design is modeled on Alexander Rodchenko's 1924 portrait of Lilya Brik. The album became the band's first UK number-one album, and although their debut album was relatively successful in the United States, going platinum and reaching number 32, You Could Have It So Much Better managed to reach number 8 and earn gold status in the United States. Recorded in both New York City and their own studio in Glasgow with producer Rich Costey, the album spawned four UK top 30 singles: ' Do You Want To', ' The Fallen', ' Walk Away' and ' Eleanor Put Your Boots On.' It was first released on 28 September 2005 in Japan, and later on 3 October in the UK, through the Domino Recording Company.
