The song was released as the first single from her seventh full-length studio album, ''Volta''. The single was released digitally in the USA on 9 April and 21 April 2007 and in Europe on 28 April 2007. It is co-produced by R&B record producer Timbaland and his protégé Danja. The single was released in a physical box set on 4 February 2008. Due to high digital download sales, it remains Björk's highest charting single in the United States to date. Congolese group Konono Nº1 play electric likembes on the song. ==Background== The first mention of "Earth Intruders" as a song title was made on (allaccess.com ) on March 10, 2007, and was later confirmed as the lead single through an article in The Guardian on March 11, 2007. On March 26, 2007, a distorted sample of the song was uploaded to the YouTube video sharing website as part of the viral marketing campaign for the ''Volta'' album. A fifteen-second sample of the track then appeared on the Rhino Records online ringtone website on April 1, 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Rhino Ringtones )〕 The purchased ringtone featured a different clip (with different lyrics) to the one used in the online preview on the site; both audio samples were subsequently spread across music forums. On April 3, 2007 it was reported that the Björk section of the Rhino Records online ringtone store had been removed. After a broadcast of the song on the internet radio station (WOXY ) on April 6, 2007 the song was made widely available across file-sharing networks. On April 7, 2007, the "Mark Stent Extended Edit" was released on the Australian iTunes Store; most other iTunes Stores made the single available on April 9, the official release date of the digital single. The album version of Earth Intruders (which differs from the iTunes Store version both in terms of mixing and track length) was leaked to the internet on April 24, 2007 due to the full album being made available accidentally on the UK iTunes Store on April 23, 2007 for a total of six hours, two weeks before the album's official release date. In an interview on (mtv.com ) Björk talked about the background of the song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Earth Intruders」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
