Example is the second studio album released by For Squirrels.{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/for-squirrels-mn0000181250/biography|title=For Squirrels | Biography & History|website=AllMusic}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/setting-a-fine-example-6363464|title=Setting a Fine Example|first=Georgina|last=Cardenas|date=September 21, 1995|website=Miami New Times}} It was produced by Nick Launay. It was For Squirrels' only major label record, as lead singer John Vigliatura and bassist Bill White died when the band's van blew a tire and crashed less than a month before Example's release.

Despite the death of half the band, the two surviving members chose to release the album as scheduled. The band released "Mighty K.C." as the only single from the album. The song peaked at #15 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart on the chart dated January 26, 1996.{{cite magazine | url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/alternative-airplay/1996-01-26/ | title=Alternative Airplay | magazine=Billboard }}

The album did not gain mainstream popularity, reaching only No. 171 on the Billboard 200.{{cite book |title=Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Albums, 1955-2001 |date=2001 |publisher=Record Research |page=303}}
