"Hang You From The Heavens" was the first the world heard of the Dead Weather, released on March 11, 2009 as the band's debut single, months ahead of their album Horehound. The first 7-inch run was just 150 copies, and none of them reached a shop: every one went to the crowd at the band's debut show, part of the opening of the Third Man Records headquarters. It went out on iTunes too, backed with a cover of Gary Numan's "Are 'Friends' Electric?".
Alison Mosshart and Dean Fertita wrote it. Mosshart shares the vocal with Jack White, who drums and produced it; Fertita covers guitar, organ, piano and synthesizer, Jack Lawrence plays bass, and those two add backing vocals. Vance Powell engineered and mixed it with White. By the fall it was Rock Band downloadable content and the sound of the TV spots promoting the premiere of The Vampire Diaries.
