As with many of their recent recordings, Marillion, who are widely considered crowdfunding pioneers, turned to their fans to finance the new album. This time the group decided to join the online direct to fan music platform Pledge Music in order to expand their management and customer service possibilities. The pre-order campaign was launched on 1 September 2015 and by 6 October fans from 67 countries pledged to buy the album. The money received made Marillion to be able to tour across South America in May 2016 and North America in October 2016. The album was recorded between 2014 and 2016 at the group's own Racket Club Studios in Buckinghamshire, as well as at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in Wiltshire, where Marillion spent a week in the end of the winter in 2016.[7] On 7 April 2016, the band revealed the cover art and announced the album title as Fuck Everyone and Run (F E A R). Singer Steve Hogarth commented on the title, saying,

”This title is adopted not in anger or with any intention to shock. It is adopted and sung (in the song "New Kings”) tenderly, in sadness and resignation inspired by an England, and a world, which increasingly functions on an “Every man for himself” philosophy. I won’t bore you with examples, they’re all over the newspapers every day. There’s a sense of foreboding that permeates much of this record. I have a feeling that we’re approaching some kind of sea-change in the world – an irreversible political, financial, humanitarian and environmental storm. I hope that I’m wrong. I hope that my FEAR of what “seems” to be approaching is just that, and not FEAR of what “is” actually about to happen.”
