Jet came roaring out of Australia in 2003 with "Are You Gonna Be My Girl", the first single pulled from their debut album Get Born. America got it first, on August 18, and the home crowd followed on September 1. Dave Sardy produced it for Elektra.

It's a come-on phrased as a question, and it doesn't wait politely for the answer: brash, cocky, built for maximum strut, a rock and roll record that knows exactly what it wants and says so in the title.

The States went for it. It gave Jet their first top-40 hit there and the highest-charting single they ever had in America, peaking at 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, and rock radio pushed it further still: number three on Modern Rock Tracks, number seven on Mainstream Rock Tracks. It made the top 20 in Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and the UK as well, and at home it peaked at 20. Australia has kept claiming it ever since: Triple M put it at 38 in its 2018 "Ozzest 100", a countdown of the most Australian songs of all time, and it came in at 23 when Triple J ran its Hottest 100 of Australian Songs in 2025.
