Wikipedia article
"'Politics'" is a song by the American nu metal band Korn and The Matrix for Korn's seventh studio album, 'See You on the Other Side'. It was released as the album's third single in August 2006 instead of the previous choice, "Love Song", and is the last Korn single to feature David Silveria on drums.
Concept
Chart performance
The song did not reach the same success as "Twisted Transistor" and "Coming Undone", peaking at number eighteen on 'Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs chart in January 2007. Promotional singles containing an array of remixes were issued to dance clubs, along with an exclusive iTunes EP coinciding with the United States midterm elections in November 2006. This would give Korn their third consecutive (and overall) charting single on 'Billboard's Dance/Club Play Songs chart, with a peak of number 20.
Charts
Music video
The video was shot live on August 26, 2006, at the Alpine Valley Amphitheatre in East Troy, Wisconsin, during the Family Values Tour. Along with a traditional camera shoot by Chris Kantrowitz, the band put handheld cameras in the hands of ten members of its fanclub and local area fans who were given all access passes to shoot the performance and any behind-the-scenes footage that they chose. It was released exclusively on MP3.com on October 3, 2006.
