"Never Miss a Beat" led the charge for Off With Their Heads, Kaiser Chiefs' third album, in 2008, and it arrived with some fresh faces in the room. Mark Ronson and Eliot James co-produced and engineered it, Andy Wallace and John O'Mahony handled the mix, and Lily Allen joined members of New Young Pony Club on backing vocals. The writing credit is shared five ways, among Ricky Wilson, Andrew White, Simon Rix, Nick Baines and Nick J.D. Hodgson, on Polydor.
Radio 1 was all over it from day one, premiering it on The Chris Moyles Show and then slotting it onto the A List. It entered the UK chart at number 5, making it the band's second top-five single there and their fifth top-10 entry, and it went out to American modern rock stations that September.
