"New Kicks" was described by the band's publicist as "a dance anthem made up of samples of anti-war speeches by Susan Sarandon, Al Sharpton, and others, punctuated by a 'Peace Up, War Down!' chant". The song has drawn similarities to their song "Dyke March 2001" from Feminist Sweepstakes due to its sampled chant approach. The songs' chants were recorded at the 15 February anti-war protests in Manhattan by JD Samson. It was released as the album's first single by the label ahead of the 2004 Republican National Convention
