Fontaines D.C. put "In ár gCroíthe go deo" on Skinty Fia, their third album, released through Partisan Records in April 2022. Grian Chatten wrote the lyric, and the music is split five ways between him, Tom Coll, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan III and Carlos O’Connell, with Curley, Deegan and O’Connell also stacking up the backing vocals.
Dan Carey produced and mixed it, keeping the partnership that shaped Dogrel in 2019 and A Hero's Death in 2020, and Alexis Smith engineered. The album takes its name from a saying of drummer Tom Coll's great-aunt, an Irish phrase that translates as the damnation of the deer, and both the name and the sleeve nod to the extinct Irish elk.
