It was released by 4AD in 1996 as the second single from the band's third studio album, Lovelife. Known for its feminist themes, the song became one of the band's bigger hits,[1] peaking at No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 18 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, and No. 15 on the Canadian RPM Alternative 30 chart. Background"Ladykillers" was described as a Britpop track[2] and "a punky shot of Blondie-esque new wave".[2] Lacking the reverb-indebted sound of the band's previous material, the track opened with "attention-seizing circular melody and spunky vocals" from lead vocalist Miki Berenyi.[3] Some critics, including AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine, claimed that it was influenced by "the direct, jagged pop of Elastica",[4] but the band were annoyed by what Berenyi called "stupid Elastica comparisons".[5] Critical receptionAnnie Zaleski of The A.V. Club regarded the song as one of the album's standouts, describing it as "a welcome antidote to Britpop’s masculine point of view". Zaleski further stated that the track is "a righteous feminist statement in which Lush reminds those with a Y chromosome that respecting women and treating them like smart, competent human beings is perhaps the best first step."[2] Consequence of Sound critic Frank Mojica stated that Berenyi eviscerates "men with transparent agendas and dubious attitudes towards women everywhere with an infectiously sarcastic wit". He concluded: "It’s what would have been hyped as a girl power anthem had it been released a couple years later."[3] The track was featured on VH1's list of "Top 10 Britpop Tracks".[6] Music videoA music video for the song, directed by Mark Pellington, was released in 1996.[7] It features the band performing the song, as well as footage of praying mantises decapitating one another.[8] Track listings4AD CD Single (CD1)
