2006年1月16日,第二张单曲《When the Sun Goes Down》延续第一张势头,又一次直接夺取单曲榜冠军,38922张的销售记录惊艳一时。他们出道时的宣传策略和成名的轨迹也给了后进的英国新乐队一些启示。
"When the Sun Goes Down" is the second single from Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys, released on 16 November 2005. The song, about prostitution in the Neepsend district of Sheffield, was originally known as "Scummy" and followed debut single "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" to UK Number One. The track is featured on the band's debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, released the week after this single.
Original reports suggested its name would be simply "Sun Goes Down", but the full name was confirmed on the band's website. The line, "and he told Roxanne to put on her red light," is a reference to The Police song, Roxanne.
