The title, Fashionably Late, was officially announced along with the cover and a June 18, 2013 release date, with preorders for the album beginning the same day.

Online as, "Blending big radio beats with moshpit inducing riffage, the track addresses Ronnie's critics head-on."

"[5] The music video, released the same day, portrayed Radke performing on an airport runway with a Ferrari driving beside him.

The song featured a sound reminiscent of the first Falling in Reverse album, The Drug in Me Is You, and received much more positive reviews than "Alone" from both critics and fans.

[13] On May 13, Falling in Reverse announced on Twitter that the band had cancelled tour dates due to lead singer Radke expecting the birth of his first child with Crissy Henderson.

[17] Despite a negative response to the album, it opened at number 17 on the Billboard 200, selling around 20,000 copies in its first week of release.

[23] Fashionably Late was heavily panned by critics, and is widely regarded as the band's worst album.

Infectious Magazine wrote a positive review about the album, they said "Combing a motley mixture of metalcore, pop, rap, and dubstep, Falling in Reverse deserves an A in originality.

Some songs like 'Born to Lead', 'Self Destruct Personality', and 'Fuck the Rest' are more true to classic form: screaming intros, shredding guitar solos, and a general 'rock and roll' attitude.

"[28] Las Vegas Weekly had mixed review about the album, they said "Fashionably Late, which augments the band's familiar metalcore-with-a-pop-heart with glitchy electronic flourishes, hip-hop swagger, country-influenced instrumentation and, on 'Keep Holding On', piano and strings.

Some of these musical progressions work surprisingly well (and Radke is actually a decent rapper), but Fashionably Late's weaker moments—the bratty, misogynistic electro-pop chant 'Bad Girls Club', constant references to Twitter and the awkward video game metaphors and sound effects on 'Game Over'—are cringe-inducing.

"[25] Allmusic said that "Falling in Reverse deserve credit for their musical versatility" and highlighted to the tracks "Rolling Stone", "Fashionably Late", "Born to Lead" and "Drifter".
