It was released on October 21, 2003, and was intended to be a single for her cancelled second album SexySexObsessive. Toby Gad produced the song and wrote it with Ford and Rhonda Robinson. Ford had spent approximately two years working on material for a follow-up to her debut album Willa Was Here (2001). She said that she wanted to revolutionize pop music through using the word "fuck". After SexySexObsessive was shelved, "A Toast to Men" was promoted as a solo single. Ford was hesitant on whether or not Lava Records would release the song given its provocative content.

I wanted it to be sexy and fierce and be OK to say the word 'fuck.' I just needed some time to get out of it and figure out what the fuck was going on."
