Although The Black Keys had always refused to allow their music to be used for commercialism, for fear of being branded "sell-outs", they decided to license "Set You Free" for use in a Nissan advert. Dan Auerbach later said, "It's helped us immensely. Before "Tighten Up", we'd never had a real song regularly played on rock radio. We didn't have that support, and getting these songs in commercials was almost like having your song on the radio."[1]
The track was also included on the soundtrack to the film School of Rock (2003).[2]
All songs written by Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, unless otherwise noted.
