The song has thus far reached number 3 in the US on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the first Billboard Alternative Songs number one single to crack the U.S. top 5 since Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody” in 2009. When “Pumped Up Kicks” was first recorded, frontman Mark Foster played all of the song’s instruments for what he thought was going to be just a demo, but the version he recorded ended up as the final version on Torches. “Pumped Up Kicks” was featured on Nylon’s coverage of Fashion Week in February 2010 and emerged on YouTube in February 2010. It went viral after a popular German blog gave it a very positive review. “Pumped Up Kicks” received positive reviews from critics.
