“Eat Your Young” sees Hozier describe a feast being prepared and served together with the chaos that comes with it. According to the artist, the track is a taste of the 9 Circles of Hell more specifically the 3rd Circle, Gluttony. This is based on the first part of Dante Alighieri’s epic peom known as Divine Comedy. The title could be alluding to the 1729 satirical essay, ‘A Modest Proposal’ by Jonathon Swift, where he suggests, as a solution to poverty in Ireland at the time, that the poor should sell their children to be cannibalised by the rich. The track was first revealed on 24th February 2023 in a post on Hozier’s socials, together with artwork and tracklist of the EP. This was followed by the first snippet of the track with the words;
