In early 2012, Band of Horses was promoting their fourth studio album, “Infinite Arms,” which was released in 2010. The live performance of "No One's Gonna Love You" on "Letterman" showcases the band at a significant point in their career, following the critical acclaim of "Infinite Arms" and its subsequent Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. This period marked a transition for the band, as they solidified their sound and gained mainstream recognition. Notably, "No One's Gonna Love You" is a standout track from the album, stemming from their roots in Southern rock, and its performance on a prominent show like "Letterman" highlights the band's increasing visibility. The recording reflects the band's energetic live presence and the emotional depth of their music, which has been a defining characteristic throughout their discography.
