"Politics" is a song written and recorded by American rock band Korn and The Matrix for Korn's seventh studio album, "See You on the Other Side". It was released to U.S. radio stations as the album's third single in September 2006 instead of the previously favored "Love Song", [Cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1536179/20060712/korn.jhtml|title=Jonathan Davis' Near-Death Experience Has Him Talking God, Politics|date=2006-07-13|accessdate=2007-10-04|publisher=MTV News] and is the last Korn single to feature David Silveria on drums.

Concept

Chart performance

The song peaked relatively low on "Billboard"'s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks in comparison to its predecessors, "Coming Undone" and "Twisted Transistor", reaching number 18 for the issue date of January 6, 2007. Promotional singles containing an array of remixes were issued to dance clubs, including an iTunes-exclusive EP coinciding with the United States midterm elections in November 2006. This would give Korn their third consecutive (and overall) charting single on "Billboard"'s Hot Dance Club Play, with a peak of number 20.

Music video

The video was shot live on August 26, 2006 at the Alpine Valley Amphitheatre in East Troy, Wisconsin, during the Family Values Tour. Along with a traditional camera shoot by Chris Kantrowitz, the band put handheld cameras in the hands of ten members of its fanclub and local area fans who were given all access passes to shoot the performance and any behind-the-scenes footage that they chose. It was released exclusively on MP3.com on October 3, 2006.
