"Sharks" is a song by American pop rock band Imagine Dragons, released as the second single from the band's fifth studio album, Mercury – Acts 1 & 2 on June 24, 2022. The song was released through Interscope and Kidinakorner. It was written by Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee, Daniel Platzman, and its producers Mattman & Robin.[1] [2] The song charted internationally and was certified gold in multiple countries, including Canada and the United States.
The band released the music video on June 24, 2022, directed by Drew Kirsch. The video, which pays homage to the 2001 film Ocean's Eleven, takes place in the band's home city of Las Vegas, where the band members pull off a heist in the Bellagio casino. After distracting guards, Dick Dark (Dan Reynolds) enters a restricted area, going through the backstage of O by Cirque du Soleil, a room of laser beams, and a shark aquarium. Eventually, he finds and pulls a lever saying "Do Not Pull", after which the sharks are released into the lake and fountains of the casino where Reynolds is seen surfing.[3]
