Recording edit

"Fever" was recorded in January 2013 at Key Club in Benton Harbor, Michigan, during the group's initial recording sessions for Turn Blue.[2][3] Describing the song's origin, guitarist Dan Auerbach said, "that one started with that melody. And it was [drummer Patrick Carney] and I on our own; we recorded that song and it came pretty quickly. I had that melody in my mind, worked out what the chords were and then we kept it really simple. We kept the bass and drums simple and dancey and tried to keep it upbeat — sort of like Motown". The group worked on the song's coda with producer Danger Mouse in subsequent sessions.[5]

Music video edit

The music video was directed by Theo Wenner, son of Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner, and was released on May 1, 2014. It features Auerbach portraying a sweaty televangelist preaching to an audience as Carney sits nearby. During the video, a phone number flashes on screen accompanied by a scrolling list of people who have donated.[6][7]

The video was nominated for a 2014 MTV Video Music Award for Best Rock Video.
