She Moves In Her Own Way

"She Moves in Her Own Way" was the fifth single from the Kooks' 2006 debut, Inside In / Inside Out, landing in June of that year, and it's a bouncy, sunlit little strummer that sounds like it was dashed off on a sofa and kept because nobody could stop humming it. Luke Pritchard and Max Rafferty wrote the words, with the music credited to them alongside Paul Garred and Hugh Harris, and the title says the rest: a lad a little dazzled by a girl who does things her way.

Tony Hoffer produced and engineered, keeping it light and loose, and Michael Brauer mixed. It went to number seven in the UK, and the video took the band down to Tijuana, Mexico.
