Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Charmer. By Songfacts®.

This song, which is based on real events, sees lead singer Caleb Followill resisting the charms of a preacher's wife.

Caleb Followill in Magnet magazine talked about how Kings of Leon came up with their album's name: "It was actually the name of an old church conference we went to as little kids - it was just for the preachers and their kids. We had a lot of good memories there. As soon as I came up with 'Aha Shake Heartbreak' for the last album, my little brother said the next one had to be called 'Because Of The Times'."

The video was directed by the British director Robert Hales, who was also responsible for the promo for Gnarls Barkley's international hit "Crazy." Hales suggested the Kings Of Leon undergo hypnotism for the video, but the band were too strong willed for it to too work. They tried faking being hypnotized, but eventually it was agreed the four-piece would just do a straight performance video.
