Uprising (song)
"Uprising" is a song by the English rock band Muse, released on 4 August 2009 as the lead single from their fifth studio album, The Resistance (2009). It was written by Matt Bellamy, produced by Muse and mixed by Spike Stent.
"Uprising" reached number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the top 10 in seven countries. It was certified platinum in the UK, gold in four countries, platinum in five other countries, and double platinum in the United States, making it Muse's best-selling single.
"Uprising" was described as an alternative rock, space rock, and glam rock song, with elements of industrial. It is composed in the key of D minor with a tempo of 132 beats per minute. It was inspired by the electronica band Goldfrapp and 1970s and 1980s glam rock.
Whereas Muse had previously combined distorted bass guitar with synthesisers to create basslines, they wanted the rhythm section on "Uprising" to be "real". According to the bassist, Chris Wolstenholme, they created "a bass sound that almost sounded like a synth, but wasn't".
Several critics likened "Uprising" to the theme music from the science fiction TV series Doctor Who. Uncut said "Uprising" combines a schaffel beat, the riff from the 1980 Blondie song "Call Me" and "leftist sloganeering". The songwriter, Matt Bellamy, said the lyrics "sums up how a lot of people feel and it's that we need change".
The music video was released in September 2009. It features a giant teddy bear destroying buildings, which Rolling Stone interpreted as a homage to the 1984 film Ghostbusters. The video won "Best Special Effects" in the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and was nominated for "Best Rock Video".[citation needed]
In September 2009, Muse performed "Uprising" for the first time at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. "Uprising" won Best Single at the 2010 Music Producers Guild Awards. Accepting the award, Bellamy thanked John Leckie, the producer of their first two albums, for "teaching us how to produce". He also thanked the producer Rick Rubin "for teaching us how not to produce", which some sources took to mean Muse had fired Rubin after a failed collaboration. Bellamy later said his comment had been misconstrued and that Muse had never worked with Rubin; instead, he said Muse had been inspired by stories of his "hands-off" production style.
"Uprising" reached the top 10 in Belgium (Wallonia), Denmark, Finland, Norway, Scotland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It was certified silver in the United Kingdom, gold in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Italy and New Zealand, and platinum in France and Switzerland and double-platinum in the United States.[citation needed]
