Background
Lead singer Vic Fuentes explains before playing the show live that 'Emergency Contact' is "You know when you're younger, and you go to the doctor and they ask you to put down your emergency contact, in case something goes wrong, and when you're a kid you always put down your mum or dad or your guardian, I just remember that moment in my life when my wife became my emergency contact, the person I love most in the world. And I just thought that was a really romantic moment in a very morbid, fucked up way, so we wrote a song about it."
Reception
The song is a closer representation of Pierce the Veil's change in style as opposed to the previous single, Pass the Nirvana, the new style was well received and the song went on to peak at number one on the US Alternative Airplay chart in August 2023, along with critical international acclaim, notably Australia's alternative radio station, Triple J, where Pierce the Veil performed the song alongside Radiohead's "Karma Police".
