The title track of Placebo's fifth album, "Meds" went out as the record's fourth single in October 2006, and it brings in a guest: Alison Mosshart of the Kills adds her voice to the band's. Brian Molko wrote the words, the music is credited to him, Stefan Olsdal and Steve Hewitt, and Dimitri Tikovoï produced, with Flood mixing.
The sleeve closed a loop, a collage of all three members' blurred faces, each of which had fronted one of the singles before it. American alternative radio warmed to it slowly, and by early January 2007 it had crept into the format's 50 most-played songs. In the UK it reached number 35, the band's last visit to the Top 40.
