Composition
The song is described by Far Out magazine as a "fusing of late '90s hip-hop and R&B with '70s hard rock," they also noted musical references "to the likes of Sabbath or Zeppelin and the futurism of Dr. Dre, combined with lyrical extracts like "Arabella's got a '70s head, but she's a modern lover…she's made of outer space".[6]
Performances
"Arabella" was played live for the first time on 30 August 2013, during Zurich Openair festival performance, which was a part of the AM Tour.[7] The band often play part of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" during live performances of the song, done to give Alex Turner time to equip a guitar for the solo. The part "War Pigs" is played due to the similarities between the riffs of the two songs.[8]
Music video
An official music video for the song, directed by English director Jake Nava, premiered on 2 March 2014.[9]
