S.O.B. - Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Some songs jump out at you with just a three-letter title. “S.O.B.” by rock band Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats is one of those songs. “S.O.B.” was released in 2015 as the lead single for the group’s debut self-titled album. The song combines elements of pop and rock music with soul and gospel, with handclaps and call-and-response vocal lines. It was written by lead singer Nathaniel Rateliff, who described the lyrics as being about drinking one’s life away after a bad breakup. These lyrics were partially inspired by his own experience with alcohol withdrawal. It would make sense for one to miss the more serious implications of the song’s lyrics given its overall jokey and upbeat tone. The song went on to be a breakthrough hit for the group, peaking at Number 1 on Billboard’s US Adult Alternative Songs, as well as Number 18 on the US Mainstream Rock chart. “S.O.B.” has also appeared in several films, TV shows, and commercials.
