"The Rover" opens Marauder, Interpol's sixth studio album, from 2018, and it was the first thing anyone heard from the record, arriving as a digital single ahead of the album. Paul Banks, Daniel Kessler and Sam Fogarino share the writing credit.
The video, released in July 2018, took the band to Mexico City, where Banks spent his teenage years and where he chose to shoot it. Gerardo Naranjo directed, with Banks, Kessler, Fogarino and Ebon Moss-Bachrach among the people helping him, and Vanity Fair read the result as a political love letter to the city. The song's chart high came on Mexico's Ingles Airplay list, where it entered at number 35 and climbed no further.
