The song's lyrics were inspired by the growing attention received by the White Stripes and the negatives that came with it. ‘Seven Nation Army’ is a diatribe against fame. ‘Seven Nation Army’, along with the rest of the album, was recorded on analogue equipment, using only pre-1960 studio equipment.ħ. The song is the opening track of their fourth studio album, Elephant, where no computers were used. They eventually relented and it became their biggest hit.Ħ. According to Jack White, neither the labels in America or in the UK wanted to put this out as the first single. The riff of the ‘Seven Nation Army’ consists of seven notes that are repeated in the same order throughout the song.ĥ.

He abandoned the idea after self convincing of the few chances he had of that to happen. Jack White’s first idea was to save the riff in case he ever got asked to write the theme for a Jame Bond film. It was a guitar riff written at the sound check before a show at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne, while the White Stripes were on the Australian leg of their tour in January 2002 which led into future song ‘Seven Nation Army’.Ģ.
