"FFS" was supported by five singles: "Piss Off," "Johnny Delusional," "Collaborations Don't Work," "Call Girl," and "Police Encounters," each adding to the album's diverse sonic landscape and further demonstrating the creative synergy between Franz Ferdinand and Sparks. Overall, "FFS" stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and experimentation in music, leaving a lasting impression on both fans and critics alike.
