"Pyro" was the second single from Come Around Sundown, Kings of Leon's fifth album, and it arrived in December 2010 together with its video, the two premiering on the band's website and YouTube channel. By Caleb Followill's account, it began with verses he wrote after watching a piece about radical Christians living up in the mountains and their deadly run-in with the FBI, and it grew into the story of a man so fed up with a world that doesn't suit him that he burns it down.
Jacquire King and Angelo Petraglia produced, and the band dresses the song's smolder with Wurlitzer electric piano from Matthew Followill and Petraglia, Liam O'Neil's Hammond organ and a little xylophone from Jared Followill, who also plays bass. The video acts out a bar fight in slow motion, with actors doing the brawling.
