Heads Will Roll

"Heads Will Roll" is the second single released by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs from their third album, It's Blitz!. The CD and 7" commercial singles was released in the UK on June 29, 2009. Band member Nick Zinner co-wrote this song with Karen O, during the same session that produced the track "Hysteric." He told Billboard magazine: "That was actually one of the last songs we wrote for the record. I think we always wanted to have a guilty-pleasure dance song; that was it, really. It came quickly, and it was just fun to write. (Source Heads Will Roll Songfacts).
