“Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?”, released on 11 August 2013, is a standout track from the British rock band Arctic Monkeys’ fifth studio album, “AM”. Diverging from the band’s original sound, the song blends indie rock with hip-hop, R&B, and psychedelic elements, marking a creative evolution influenced by the band’s life in the United States. Written by frontman Alex Turner, it presents an unflinching portrayal of a one-sided relationship seen through the lens of inebriation. Notably, this track marked the band’s return to the UK Singles Chart’s top-ten list for the first time since 2007.

The song is distinguished not only by its innovative sound and heartfelt narrative but also by the intriguing music video directed by Nabil Elderkin. Depicting a surreal journey through East London’s streets, the video enhanced the song’s popularity and illustrated the Arctic Monkeys’ knack for narrative visualization. The amalgamation of these factors positioned “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?” as an important part of Arctic Monkeys’ legacy and affirmed their status as one of the most inventive bands of their generation.
