Background
After releasing "The Mountain" as the first single from their sixth studio album Outsider, the band chose "Infra-Red" as the album's second single.[2] It was first released as a single on June 12, 2018.[3] A lyric video was first released for the song on July 9, 2018,[4] with the song's lyrics being displayed in a dark warehouse with red tinges of color.[5] In September 2018, the song topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, their fourteenth song to do so,[6] surpassing Van Halen for the act with the most number-one songs on the chart since its inception in 1981.[7] While the studio album cut is a full band, electric performance, an acoustic rendition of the song was recorded in April 2018 for Radio.com.[8]
The song was written by Neil Sanderson, Gavin Brown, Barry Stock, Brad Walst, Matt Walst, Dan Kanter and Isiah Steinberg.[9]
