"Underdog" came off West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, Kasabian's 2009 album, as its third single, following "Where Did All the Love Go?" Sergio Pizzorno wrote it alone and produced it with Dan the Automator, who also mixed; Marc Senesac engineered and Jason Mehler chipped in extra guitar. It's indie rock with a swagger built for big rooms.
It only reached No. 32 on the UK singles chart, yet it caught on far and wide, and sport and television have leaned on it ever since. It rolled over the credits of the 2010 film Takers, backed Carlsberg's England team-talk ad for the 2010 World Cup with the band in the spot, turned up on Top Gear, and became snooker player Mark Selby's walk-on music and the run-out music for Welsh rugby side Dragons RFC.
