Sex on Fire

"Sex on Fire" is a song by American rock band Kings of Leon. It was released on August 11, 2008, as the lead single from their fourth studio album, Only by the Night (2008). The song gave the band their first number-one single in Australia, Finland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, charting at the top spot on digital downloads alone in the latter country, before its physical release. In September 2009, it was Britain's second most-downloaded digital single ever. The song has sold 1.2 million copies in the United Kingdom as of November 2012. It has also gained significant popularity in the United States, reaching number one on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the band's second highest-charting song there on the latter chart.

At the 51st Annual Grammy Awards, "Sex on Fire" was nominated for two awards: Best Rock Song, and Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group, winning the latter. Channel V Australia named the song as the third biggest hit of 2008. It was voted number one in Triple J Hottest 100 countdown for 2008. Following the success of the follow-up single "Use Somebody" in the United States on pop radio, the track was re-serviced to US pop radio in November. Remixes of both songs were used for the runway soundtrack in the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
