"Ex's & Oh's" was Elle King's first single, arriving on RCA in September 2014 to lead off her debut album, Love Stuff, and it swaggers in like it owns the bar. King wrote it with producer Dave Bassett, and they cooked up a rowdy mix of blues rock, alternative rock and Southern rock riding a swing beat, all stomp and handclap-ready bounce, with King's voice doing the strutting and the title doing the winking. Critics loved the cleverness of the words and the sheer catchiness.

Rock radio got there first, sending it to number one on Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart, and in September 2015 it topped the Alternative Songs chart, only the second song by a solo woman to do that since 1996. It went on to reach number 10 on the Hot 100, went 4x Platinum in the US and earned two Grammy nominations, for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song.
