Are You Looking For Action? was written by Sergio Pizzorno and is the 8th track on For Crying Out Loud. It was released on 21 April 2017.
Background[]
Are You Looking For Action? was originally intended to be shorter than its 8 minutes, as Serge mentioned he didn't want any songs to be over 4 minutes. However, when he returned to the track after taking a break in summer 2016, he decided to "graffiti all over it."[1] Serge has named it as his favourite song on the album.
The song was released digitally on 21 April 2017, and as a double A-side together with You're In Love With A Psycho for Record Store Day the following day.
Live[]
Are You Looking For Action? was debuted on 9 December 2017 at the last gig of Kasabian's arena tour in Birmingham, where the band was joined by the DMU Gospel Choir. It has not been played again after this, making this the band's least-performed single.

Lyrics[]
We're just looking for some action
Just looking for some action over here
Everybody in their place now
We're giving you the chance to disappear
To disappear, to disappear, to disappear
Broken bottles, leather biscuits
I see no way of getting out of here
I can't hear you, better use a speak and spell
It's such a lovely way of getting out of it
We're just looking for some action
Just looking for some action over here
Everybody in their place now
We're giving you the chance to disappear
We're just looking for some action
Just looking for some action over here
Everybody in their place now
We're giving you the chance to disappear
To disappear, to disappear, to disappear
Give up, get down, get your flashlight
Everybody down into the basement
Give up, get down, until the sunlight
They'll be sweeping you up off the pavement
Give up, get down, get your flashlight
Everybody down into the basement
Give up, get down, until the sunlight
They'll be sweeping you up off the pavement
Tollbooth parking, Ford Fiesta
Got me licking on your '99
Satsumas, crawling with your ski boots on
I said I've never met anybody as high as you
We're just looking for some action
Just looking for some action over here
Everybody in their place now
We're giving you the chance to disappear
We're just looking for some action
Just looking for some action over here
Everybody in their place now
We're giving you the chance to disappear
To disappear, to disappear, to disappear
Give up, get down, get your flashlight
Everybody down into the basement
Give up, get down, until the sunlight
They'll be sweeping you up off the pavement
Give up, get down, get your flashlight
Everybody down into the basement
Give up, get down, until the sunlight
They'll be sweeping you up off the pavement
Give up, get down, get your flashlight
Everybody down into the basement
Give up, get down, until the sunlight
They'll be sweeping you up off the pavement
Give up, get down, get your flashlight
Everybody down into the basement
Give up, get down, until the sunlight
They'll be sweeping you up off the pavement
Give up, get down, get your flashlight
Give up, get down, get your flashlight
Give up, get down, get your flashlight
Give up, get down, get your flashlight
