The A-side to a single released ahead of their fourth album, "R U Mine?" marked a decisive shift towards a heavier, riff-driven sound, anticipating the more muscular approach of *AM*.
- The single was released on February 27, 2012, with a double A-side, "Electricity".
- The track was produced by the band themselves, alongside James Ford and possibly Josh Homme.
- It was the first release to feature the band's new, more aggressive sound and was widely praised for its driving riff.
Sheffield's Arctic Monkeys became the darlings of the UK's indie scene with their 2006 debut. By 2012, they were a stadium-sized concern, moving past their initial hype into a more seasoned, confident sound.
