Kings of Leon's album Only By the Night seemed to be the peak of success, but also the one that prior fans of the band broke away from liking the more cleaned up sound they were heading in. This isn't about the album though Only By the Night, but instead about the most popular song from the album "Sex on Fire." The song to do this day is still popular, and hate it or love it it is pretty dang catchy.
History: The first single to be released from Only By the Night was "Sex on Fire." It was perhaps the best choice the band could make as it caught a lot of attention. It would be the first time the band would achieve number ones in many countries over seas, and spur many digital downloads, and it would sky rocket the band to fame over seas in the United Kingdom. The song has received many positive reviews, but not everyone has been so kind to it. The song though did receive quite a few award nominations, particularly at the Grammy's, apart from the album itself.
