The first song to get much radio play for The Strokes, "Last Nite" is about a guy who leaves his girlfriend after she tells him she feels upset because he doesn't care about her. He then starts to get depressed and question his choices.
British music magazine NME placed Is This It in first place in their list of the albums of the decade. Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas said of the award: "It's totally crazy! I don't know what that means. Does it mean it's a good musical decade or a bad musical decade? I don't know, I'm such a bad judge of my own stuff. But I thought it was great when I heard. Recording the album was fun, it was stressing, it was exciting. I think if I was to know then that I'd be having this conversation now I couldn't be more pleased. I'm restraining myself now, I don't want to get carried away, but I'm pretty damn psyched with myself. Mental high five!"
Julian Casablancas told producer Gordon Raphael he wanted the song to sound "like a band from the past that took a time-trip into the future."
