"Invaders Must Die" is the eighteenth single released by the British electronic band the Prodigy. It was released from the band's website as a free digital download on 26 November 2008. It was the first single from the album Invaders Must Die.[1] The download was announced on 24 November, in a newsletter sent to fans, and first aired on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show as his 'Hottest Record in the World' on 26 November.[2] The song was co-produced by Does It Offend You, Yeah?'s James Rushent.[3] Liam Howlett described this to the Dubai edition of Time Out as: "a very abrasive-sounding electronic track, kind of different to anything we've done before."[4] Although not being a commercial single the track charted at 49 in the UK Singles Chart on 1 March 2009,[5] whilst the Chase & Status remix reached 53 in the Australian Aria Singles Chart and 7 in the Aria Dance Chart.[citation needed] On 30 November 2009 the re-amped version by Liam was released as an EP with the B-side Mescaline, and Thunder remixes.[6]
James Rushent co-produced parts of the song on a laptop while on tour with his band, same with "Omen". He said he would work on the song early in the morning and e-mail it to Liam Howlett.[citation needed]
