The Black Keys came back from a silence of nearly five years with "Lo/Hi", the lead single from their ninth album, Let's Rock, in 2019. Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney wrote it and produced it themselves, cutting it in late 2018 at Easy Eye Sound in Nashville, with Auerbach on guitar, bass and vocals, Carney on drums and percussion, Leisa Hans and Ashley Wilcoxson on backing vocals, and Tchad Blake mixing.

It's gritty, strutting and soulful, and The Tennessean's David Paulson heard T. Rex in its swagger. CBS grabbed it straight away as the theme for its coverage of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, and it made history by topping Billboard's Mainstream Rock, Adult Alternative, Rock Airplay and Alternative charts all at once, a first for any song.
