Gray stated in an interview that the title and lyrics of the track were inspired by an image he had of Saddam Hussein being pulled out of his spider hole.[2] Gray performed the song on 25 September 2009 on the Late Show with David Letterman[3] and an acoustic version on GMTV, saying that the song was "about hiding from life, from yourself. It's saying don't forsake it all because there's something keeping you upright and keeping you walking down the street."[4] The single features the exclusive B-side "Jitterbug."[5]
"Fugitive" was chosen as the Starbucks–iTunes "Pick of the Week" for September 15, 2009.[6]
