Frontman Ricky Wilson said that the lead single "Record Collection" is "about the internet and frustration with the internet, about how it rules our lives but we don't really understand what it is and how we just click accept".[12] The song is not to be confused with the title track of Record Collection by Mark Ronson, which was co-written by former Kaiser Chiefs member Nick Hodgson and subsequently covered by the band on triple j's Like a Version segment. The song entered iTunes Charts peaking at number 61 in Spain and 62 in Brazil.[13]
