In April 2004, during the live performance of "Maps" at the Printemps Du Bourges festival in France, Yeah Yeah Yeahs were experiencing significant momentum following the release of their acclaimed debut album, "Fever to Tell," which came out in 2003. This album featured notable tracks like "Date with the Night" and "Maps," the latter of which would become one of the band's signature songs. At this point in their career, they had begun to garner critical acclaim and a growing fanbase, buoyed by their energetic performances and unique sound that blended elements of punk, art rock, and pop. "Maps," in particular, showcased a more emotional and melodic side of the band, highlighting Karen O's distinctive vocal style. The performance at the festival marked an important moment in their rise to prominence in the early 2000s indie rock scene, leading to further successes in their subsequent albums.
