"Eat Your Young" comes from Hozier's 2023 album Unreal Unearth, and it took a crowd to build: eight writers share the credit, Hozier among them, and the production is split between Bēkon, Chakra, Sergiu Gherman and Peter Gonzales.

The credits read like a small orchestra meeting a beat lab. Drew Forde on viola, Andrew Kwon and Haesol Lee on violin and Daniel Lim on cello sit alongside Craig Balmoris's drum machine, Marius Feder's synthesizer, Stuart Johnson's drums and Daniel Krieger's bass and guitar, while Daniel Tannenbaum adds organ, strings, synth and backing vocals. A five-voice choir of Gregory Fletcher, Nayanna Holley, Aretha Scruggs, Fletcher Sheridan and Danielle Withers lifts Hozier's lead, and Tom Elmhirst and Adam Hong mixed it.
