This is the second track on French rock band Phoenix's fourth studio album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. It was released as a free download on February 23, 2009 when Phoenix's redesigned official website was launched.
Phoenix singer Thomas Mars told the Washington DC free newspaper Express: "Anthems are good. '1901' really worked because we wrote almost all the song in 10 minutes, but it took us almost a year to finish it. We had the idea of the verse, and the chorus, the bridge, the rhythm, all the arrangements and everything, and then it was really hard to finish. So, I think you can feel there's something more sophisticated, maybe a production that's maybe new to us."
This featured prominently in TV commercials for the 2010 Cadillac SRX.
