"Hotel Yorba" is a deceptively simple, double-entendre-laden track that showcases the White Stripes' signature blend of raw energy and clever songwriting. The single version notably features a slightly different arrangement and mix than the album cut.
- The single was released in 2001, serving as a preview of the band's third album, *White Blood Cells*.
- "Hotel Yorba" reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart.
- The accompanying music video features the duo performing the song in a rundown motel.
The White Stripes were a Detroit-based duo known for their minimalist, blues-influenced garage rock revival sound. At the time of "Hotel Yorba"'s release, they were consolidating their identity as a raw, unpolished act in the burgeoning indie rock scene.
