The Glaswegian art-rockers flirt with an electro-clash hangover on this standalone 2009 single. Nick McCarthy's synthesizer lines take the lead, giving Alex Kapranos's guitar a more percussive role than usual.
- The single was produced by the band and Brian Higgins of Xenomania, known for their work with Girls Aloud.
- The song features a prominent, driving synth line and a simpler, more electronic beat compared to their earlier guitar-heavy work.
- It did not appear on any of the band's studio albums, though it was later included on the 2011 compilation "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand".
Franz Ferdinand is a band from Glasgow, Scotland, known for their danceable post-punk revival sound. "What She Came For" was released as a standalone single in 2009, between their second album "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand" and their third album "Right Thoughts, Wrong Turn".
