Kings of Leon thought 'Sex On Fire' was "terrible".
The American rockers released the song this week but admit they almost didn't bother to finish writing it.
Frontman Caleb Followill revealed: "I just had this melody and I didn't know what to say. Then one day I just sang 'This sex is on fire' and I laughed. I thought it was terrible, but the rest of the band were like, 'It's good, it's got a hook'. I was like, 'F**k off!' but I ended up writing it."
Caleb also revealed the raunchy lyrics to the song's chorus meant he found writing the versed difficult.
He added to NME.com: ""There's an element of sex that's expected in our songs so I tried to wrap it all up in one song. If you read the lyrics you'll find it's got some quite visual lyrics in it. It's a pretty sexy song actually, but I knew after writing 'Sex On Fire', I couldn't write verses about making out, or going to the movie theatre with a girl."
Kings of Leon release their fourth album, 'Only By The Night' on September 22.
