The song was released on October 29, 2007 in the UK and compared to previous releases reached a lowly No. 85 on the UK Singles Chart. In October 2011, NME placed it at number 115 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years".^[1]

In an interview with the BBC backstage at the Reading Festival, frontman Caleb Followill let slip that the video, filmed in the UK by director Robert Hales, would involve a hypnotist; he said, "There was an actual hypnotist there, he was meant to hypnotise us, but I dunno, we must have too strong a will, he couldn't do it so we faked it." He also commented: "It's one of the best looking videos we've done so far, we spent a lot of money on it." ^[2]
