"Freedom Fighters" kicked the door open for Welcome to the North, the Music's second album, as its first single. Japan got it first, as an EP in late August 2004, and Virgin sent it out as a single in the UK and the rest of Europe in early September; in Britain it charged to number 15.

The songwriting credit is split four ways, between Robert Harvey, Adam Nutter, Stuart Coleman and Phil Jordan, and the title alone reads like a rallying cry. It followed "The Truth Is No Words" as a single and cleared the way for "Breakin'".
