"Fakers Plague" (stylised in all caps) is a song by British metalcore band While She Sleeps.[1] Produced by Carl Bown, the track was released as a standalone single on 6 December 2019, nine months after the release of the band's fourth studio album, So What?.[2][3] The song is later included in the deluxe edition of the band's fifth studio album Sleeps Society, released on 3 June 2022.[4][5] As lead guitarist Sean Long explained, the band had a lot of anger building up within them, and they thought it was amazing to come together and express the song through music.[6][7]
