On September 3, 2019, Grimes posted on Instagram a painting of an angelic figure whose hands touch a sword pierced into a planet resembling earth. This post was accompanied by the caption "A new way to die! 2 days."https://www.instagram.com/p/B18SKOQlgMn/?hl=en This caption led publications to believe it would be the name of the song.https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/news/latest-news/grimes-teases-new-single-a-new-way-to-die https://www.nme.com/news/music/grimes-a-new-way-to-die-new-single-2544437 But she clarified the actual song title a day later.https://www.instagram.com/p/B2AFp-rHmtw/?hl=nl Another post in anticipation of the release read "There were Humans and Gods and nothing but Angels in between."https://variety.com/2019/music/news/grimes-drops-new-single-and-video-violence-1203324574/

Since most of the bad omens have come true we've cancelled this stone and are releasing a new prophesy (right). Huge apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused."https://twitter.com/Grimezsz/status/1722446656019607749

== Trivia ==
*She revealed that the song was originally intended for her sixth album, but Grimes decided to move it to Miss Anthropocene because the track "feels good".https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/grimes-interview-zane-lowe-beats-1-io-violence-8529252/
*In a 2020 interview for Pitchfork, Grimes revealed that this song was included in order to replace Darq Souls, which according to her was "theoretically the best song on the record but it became an engineering nightmare so I was not able to finish it."https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=10m13s&v=umoqd0VbRI4&feature=youtu.be 
*The song uses an altered instrumental of the i_o remix of "I Remember" by Deadmau5.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaluULg2YE8https://www.mixcloud.com/deadmau5/deadmau5-presents-mau5trap-radio-007-i_o-takeover/ 
*Grimes compared Violence to 'Stand By Your Man' by Tammy Wynette, to accent the fact that Violence was made in under one hour.https://youtu.be/umoqd0VbRI4?si=orka7BMzX4Epumiv&t=633
*Violence is in age the youngest song on Miss Anthropocene.
