Only by the Night is the fourth studio album by American rock band Kings of Leon, released in September 2008 through RCA Records. Writing for the band`s fourth album commenced just days after the release of their third, Because of the Times. The album was recorded by producers Jacquire King and Angelo Petraglia in April 2008 at Nashville`s Blackbird Studio.

Only by the Night experienced commercial success, peaking inside the top 10 of over 10 countries. The album was certified the best-selling album in Australia, certified nine times platinum. It also went on to be the highest selling album of 2008 in Australia, the third best selling album of 2008 in the UK, winning two Brit Awards, and the 18th best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK.[4][5] Furthermore, two singles from the album have found high chartings, `Sex on Fire` coming in at number one in Ireland, the UK, Australia, and on the United States` Hot Modern Rock Tracks, and at number two in New Zealand. The album`s second single `Use Somebody` also charted at number two in the UK, and at number two in Australia, along with being the band`s first top 10 hit in the U.S. The album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2009 Grammy Awards, with the song `Sex on Fire` receiving two nominations itself.[6] Worldwide sales of the album exceed 6.2 million copies, according to a press release by the band.

`Sex on Fire` came in at number one on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2008, with `Use Somebody` number three, `Closer` number 24 and `Crawl` number 70.

Production and recording history
In September 2007, lead singer Caleb Followill confirmed to NME that tracks were already being worked on for a fourth album,[7] only a few days after the release of the band`s third album, Because of the Times. Recording began in February 2008 in Nashville`s Blackbird Studios with assistant engineer, Lowell Reynolds. According to producer Jacquire King, the live performances of the main parts of each song were recorded onto 16-track analog tape and later transferred to a Pro Tools system for overdubbing and mixing.[8] On June 23, 2008, the release date of September 22, 2008 was set and the new title was announced.

Release
`Crawl` was released via the band`s website as a free download for a short time, although it was not the first proper single. The first single `Sex on Fire,` was released September 15, 2008. The same day, music website Last.fm was the first to make the entire album available for streaming.[9] The music video for `Sex on Fire` was later made available to stream on their website and YouTube channel. The song `Use Somebody` was announced as the second single and released in October 2008. The song was a massive hit, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, number 2 in the United Kingdom, and performing well in Australia and several other countries. The third single from the album was `Revelry,` released March 2, 2009.

`Notion` is the fourth single from the album. The video was released on June 1 and the song appeared on radio on June 29.[10] The song was another success for the group, peaking at #1 on the Billboard Alternative Songs.

In Australia, the song `Manhattan` was released to radio as another single. The song spent four weeks on the singles chart and peaked at number 38[11] and reached number two on the National Airplay Chart.[12] The song has also had heavy rotation on UK radio stations such as Xfm. Another fan favorite was the album`s opening track `Closer,` which features a three note riff by bass player Jared Followill that utilises a Boss ME50 multi-effects pedal to add a distinctive octave sweep reminiscent of the DigiTech Whammy.[13]

All lyrics are written by Caleb Followill; all music is composed by Caleb Followill, Nathan Followill, Jared Followill and Matthew Followill.
