To Force a Fate is the second album by indie rock band The Reputation, their first for Lookout!

[4] "March" was co-written by Elizabeth Elmore and John Davis of Q and Not U for an unrealized collaborative project called Cosmopolitan.

The album is unique to other Elmore projects in that the original songs were not written and sung by her alone.

"Follow-Through Time" was co-written by then-Reputation bass player Joel Root, and "The Lasting Effects" features vocals by guitarist Sean Hulet.
