"Wake Up Call" was the first single English alternative rockers Nothing But Thieves pulled from their self-titled debut album, which arrived in 2015. Julian Emery produced it, with extra production from Jim Irvin and from Larry Hibbitt, who also added electric guitar and shares the writing credit with Conor Mason, Dominic Craik and Joe Langridge-Brown.
Mason's lead vocal rides on top of guitars from Craik and Langridge-Brown, with Craik also on keys, Phil Blake on bass and James Price on drums, and Adam Noble engineered and mixed it. The video went up on YouTube in August 2015, and the song kept travelling: in 2016 it reached number 19 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart in the US.
