"Gotta Get Away" came off Turn Blue, the Black Keys' eighth album, and went out as its fourth single in August 2014. The band wrote and produced it themselves, with Kennie Takahashi engineering and Tchad Blake mixing, and Alfreda McCrary Lee adds backing vocals. It's a restless, windows-down rocker whose title says everything about its mood, all itchy feet. Rolling Stone put it at number 24 on its list of the year's best songs.
