On June 22, 2017, Lambert published an instrumental audio preview on social media, which included the song's release date.

In an interview by Out magazine, talking about the lyrics, Lambert said: "This song was an idea that started with Sarah Hudson and Ferras, who are two dear friends of mine.

"[5] Mike Wass of Idolator regarded the song as a "defiant rock anthem about living life on your own terms".

[2] Sabrina Finkelstein of Billboard magazine wrote that the lyrics are "very fitting for pride month".

[6] Shirley Halperin of Variety magazine wrote: "For 'Two Fux,' the singer comes back around to his sweet spot — vocal falsettos and mid-tempo pop hooks — with the confidence of someone who seems, musically, at least, finally content with his life.

"[7] Bianca Gracie of Fuse wrote: "The pop powerhouse brushes off the haters who have issues with his life choices ever so casually atop a soaring, electric guitar-dotted production.

"[1] Melanie Gomez of CelebMix called the song "an edgy mood boosting track", with "empowering lyrics".

[8] On June 22, 2017, Lambert made his debut of the song on the American late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, as part of Queen's mini-concert.

I had the opportunity to play Brian [May] and Roger [Taylor] some of the stuff I'm working on, right now, when we started tour rehearsals two weeks back.
