The Black Keys' breakthrough single "Lonely Boy" offered a more streamlined, anthemic take on their signature fuzzy garage-blues sound, helping to propel them to arena-level stardom.
- "Lonely Boy" was the lead single from the duo's 2011 album "El Camino," which was also produced by Danger Mouse and mixed by Tchad Blake.
- The song reached number seven on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and number 12 on the Billboard Rock Songs chart.
- The music video for "Lonely Boy," directed by Chris Marrs Piliero, features actor Derrick Pitts doing a jubilant, bizarre dance.
Hailing from Akron, Ohio, The Black Keys are a duo known for their raw, blues-infued garage rock. "Lonely Boy" arrived as the band was achieving wider mainstream success after their Dan Auerbach-produced breakthrough album "Brothers."
