"Charmer" sits second in line on Because of the Times, Kings of Leon's 2007 album, and it became the record's third single when it came out in the UK on October 29, 2007. All four Followills, Caleb, Jared, Matthew and Nathan, share the writing, and Ethan Johns and Angelo Petraglia produced it, with Lowell Reynolds engineering.
Britain didn't bite, and the single stalled at a lowly 85 on the UK chart. NME rated it higher: in 2011 it ranked the song 115th on its list of the 150 best tracks of the previous 15 years. For the video, shot in the UK by Robert Hales, the band brought in a real hypnotist, but as Caleb Followill told it, the man couldn't put them under, so they faked it. He still rated it among their best-looking videos, and a costly one.
