"Baptism" was the third and last single from Crystal Castles' second album, the self-titled 2010 record, and the Canadian duo put it out through Fiction and Last Gang on July 26, 2010. The album was made, according to a press release, in an Icelandic church, a Canadian cabin and a Detroit garage, and a song called "Baptism" suits that churchy, far-flung origin story.
Ethan Kath and Alice Glass co-wrote it, Kath produced it with Jacknife Lee, Lexxx mixed it and Alex Bonenfant recorded the lead vocal. A video followed on October 8, the duo played it on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that December, and it charted at 87 in Scotland and 16 on the UK Dance Singles Chart.
