Kings of Leon put "Wait for Me" out in the UK on August 6, 2013, the second single from Mechanical Bull, their sixth album, and all four Followills share both the writing credit and the vocals. Angelo Petraglia produced and adds Wurlitzer, and James Brown recorded and mixed it.
The credits point to something gentler and more shimmering than a straight guitar-band workout: Caleb Followill on guitar and mandolin, Matthew Followill on guitar, glockenspiel and vibraphone, Jared Followill on bass and piano, Nathan Followill on drums and percussion, and Chris Coleman on keyboards. It entered the UK chart at 31 and, as of 2021, was still their most recent top 40 hit there.
