"Rules Don't Stop" was the opening shot from Barbara, the fourth We Are Scientists album, arriving as its first single in April 2010 on Play It Again Sam. The band share the music credit, Keith Murray wrote the words, and Ariel Rechtshaid produced and engineered it, with Sam Bell and Chris Coady adding engineering and David Schiffman mixing.

It found a second home in video games, turning up in DiRT 3, FIFA 11 and the PlayStation 3's MLB 10 The Show, and it entered the UK Indie Chart at number 14. The video is a two-man show: singer and guitarist Murray and bassist Chris Cain against shifting colored backdrops, sometimes boxed up so only their mouths show, with new drummer Andy Burrows nowhere in sight.
