Stop making the eyes at me I'll stop making the eyes at you What it is that surprises me Is that I don't really want you to And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night) Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite) Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand Lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go I bet that you look good on the dancefloor I don't know if your looking for romance or I don't know what you're looking for I said I bet that you look good on the dancefloor Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984 Well, from 1984 I wish you'd stop ignoring me Because you're sending me to despair Without a sound, yeah, you're calling me And I don't think it's very fair That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night) Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite) Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand Lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go I bet that you look good on the dancefloor I don't know if your looking for romance or I don't know what you're looking for I said I bet that you look good on the dancefloor Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984 Well, from 1984 And there ain't no love, no Montague's or Capulets Just banging tunes in DJ sets and Dirty dancefloors And dreams of naughtiness Well, I bet that you look good on the dancefloor I don't know if your looking for romance or I don't know what you're looking for I said I bet that you look good on the dancefloor Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984 Said from 1984

A gravação da música foi feita em dois estúdios distintos: 2fly Studios em Sheffield e Chapel Studios no Lincolnshire, refletindo o processo colaborativo da banda.
O videoclipe, filmado em um único take dentro de um clube juvenil em Sheffield, reforçou a imagem descontraída da Arctic Monkeys e sua ligação com a cena local.
A faixa estreou no Top 10 do Reino Unido, subindo direto ao número 1 na UK Singles Chart em 23 de outubro de 2005, um feito raro para um single de estreia.
O trecho de abertura, “Don’t believe the hype!”, tornou-se um ponto de referência cultural, destacando a atitude irreverente da banda e ganhando reconhecimento entre fãs e críticos.
O sucesso da música foi impulsionado por uma estratégia de divulgação inovadora na época, com a banda contando majoritariamente com compartilhamento de arquivos e boca‑a‑boca na Internet, demonstrando um modelo de marketing digital emergente.
Desde sua estreia, a faixa tornou-se uma peça obrigatória nas apresentações ao vivo da Arctic Monkeys e é frequentemente citada como um marco da renovação do indie rock dos anos 2000.
