The song's name is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin's Four Sticks, as is the guitar riff.

Music video

The song's music video shows the band playing in a lobby where a massive fight breaks out spontaneously with people in the lobby when the band start playing the song. During the fighting the room is lit in red; but whenever Caleb is singing the red light goes out and the people fighting freeze in mid air.

Christopher "Nacho" Followill, a cousin to the band and a guitar tech, makes an appearance in the video.
