"In the Modern World" is one of the singles from Romance, the fourth Fontaines D.C. album, which came out in August 2024 as the Irish band's first record for XL after leaving Partisan. James Ellis Ford produced and mixed it, and the arrangement reaches well past guitars: Carlos O'Connell plays mellotron, organ and synthesizer, and a small string section, Jennymay Logan and Emma Smith on violins, Richard Jones on viola, Laura Moody on cello and Marianne Schofield on double bass, fills out the frame.
Grian Chatten wrote the words and plays guitar; the music is credited to Chatten, Tom Coll, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan III and O'Connell, with Deegan and O'Connell singing backup. Romance drew wide acclaim and opened at number two in the UK.
