"Fans" sits ninth on Kings of Leon's 2007 album Because of the Times, and it's a postcard mailed back across the Atlantic: a tip of the hat to the British crowds who had always been warmer to the band than their own country was. All four Followills share the writing, and Ethan Johns and Angelo Petraglia produced it, mixing electric and acoustic guitars over a thumping bass line with more than a hint of Styx's "I'm O.K." in its step. The result is a loping, sun-dazed strut.
Issued as the album's second single on July 9, 2007, it gave them their best UK chart placing up to then, number 13, matching its peak in Ireland, and it set the table for "Sex on Fire" going all the way to the top in Britain the following year.
