Music and composition


"One for the Road" is a rock song[4][5] with R&B influences.[6] Featuring backing vocals from rock musician and Humbug producer Josh Homme,[7] the song also features influences from Homme's band, Queens of the Stone Age.[5] The song starts with high-pitched "woo" sounds performed by drummer Matt Helders and continues with "a bluesy chunky riff" and "Americana-tinged rockabilly twang."[8]


Music video


A music video for the song, filmed in Mendota, Illinois,[9] was released on 23 October 2013.[10] It was shot in black-and-white, and directed by Focus Creeps, with whom the band previously worked on several videos in 2011 and 2012, including the NME Award-winning video for "R U Mine?". The video shows Arctic Monkeys guitarist Jamie Cook driving tractors in three-piece suits, the band striking poses in a cornfield, and a party featuring models and fireworks.[2]
