“Maps” is a single by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs from their debut full-length album, Fever to Tell (2003).

It was released on February 10, 2004, and the band performed the song at that year’s MTV Movie Awards. It reached #9 on Billboard’s hot modern rock chart and was included in the popular video game Rock Band.

The song is about the relationship between Liars frontman Angus Andrew and Yeah Yeah Yeahs lead singer Karen O.

Karen O’s tears in the music video were quite real as she explained:

They were real tears. My boyfriend at the time was supposed to come to the shoot – he was three hours late and I was just about to leave for tour. I didn’t think he was even going to come and this was the song that was written for him. He eventually showed up and I got myself in a real emotional state.

While there have been suggestions that the title of the song is an acronym for “My Angus Please Stay”, there continues to be no confirmation from Karen O or any of the other writers of the song.
