Saints of Los Angeles (song)

"Saints of Los Angeles" is the title track and lead single from Mötley Crüe's ninth studio album of the same name, released in 2008. The song is an autobiographical account of the band members' experiences growing up in Los Angeles and their rise to fame amid the city's chaotic and often decadent rock and roll scene.

The lyrics detail the band's struggles, excesses, and triumphs, painting a picture of a wild and often reckless lifestyle. Specific references are made to their early days, their run-ins with the law, and their eventual success. The song is considered a signature track in the band's later discography and a celebration of their enduring legacy.

The song was co-written by all four members of Mötley Crüe (Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, and Mick Mars) along with James Michael, DJ Ashba, and Marti Frederiksen. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 51st Grammy Awards in 2009.
