- In a (highly recommended) New Yorker profile, Fiona said the title was inspired from a scene in the police drama "The Fall", where Gillian Anderson's character calls out the phrase after finding a locked door to a room where a girl had been tortured. "Really, what it’s about is not being afraid to speak."
- The album’s 13 tracks were composed and recorded at home with Fiona at times “stomping on the walls, on the floor-playing her house.” The album was inspired by her fascination with the potential of using a band “as an organism instead of an assemblage-something natural”, and is described as raw, unslick, and percussion-heavy (drums, chants, bells, wooden blocks).
- She considered putting a sketch of Harvey Weinstein using his walker in her album art.
- “For Her” was written shortly after Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, and other titles include: “Newspaper” (featuring harmonies by her sister), “On I Go”, “The Drumset Is Gone”, “Rack of His”, “Kick Me Under the Table” (featuring lyrics: 'I would beg to disagree / But begging disagrees with me'), “Ladies”, “Shameka”, “Heavy Balloon”, “Fetch the Bolt Cutters” (on which Cara Delevingne meows) and “I Want You to Love Me”.
- Fiona also announced plans to release When The Pawn... on vinyl but with the original artwork, by Paul Thomas Anderson, swapped out.
