M.I.A and her live backup singer Cherry Byron-Withers provocatively grind against a chain-linked fence and giggling children play in dirty streets and damp landscapes amidst flags of her single artwork. The video portrays the singer performing live in an underground nightclub and a desolate wasteland, mixed with scenes of teenagers throwing grenades of smoking colour at buildings. intended for the video to be shot in the favelas in Brazil, but could not shift filming there due to time and budget constraints. The song's accompanying music video directed by Anthony Mandler was filmed on a desert in Nevada, US. The song was a critical success, with many contemporary critics complimenting the tough yet raw themes of revolution and sexuality in the song's music direction and lyrics. The song's title word "Bucky" is a reference to the London grime slang word for a gun, while the composition is lyrically influenced by her experiences of civil war in Sri Lanka and how the songwriter viewed the journey of rap music. The song is produced by Diplo with additional production by Dave "A. The song is inspired from Tigrona's funk carioca song "Injeção" from where a drum loop is included and flipped and airhorns are sampled but recomposed from the song " Gonna Fly Now" composed by Conti, Conners and Robbins. "Bucky Done Gun" is an uptempo baile funk- dancehall song, combining elements of electro, grime, hip hop and pop music. Upon release, the song reached number 88 on the UK Singles Chart. The B-side of the release is the song "Pull Up the People" from Arular. It was released by XL Recordings in the UK, Interscope Records in the US and Remote Control Records in Australia on 11 July 2005 in 12-inch vinyl and CD single formats. The song was composed in London in 2004 as one of the last compositions for her debut album and credited to Maya "M.I.A." Arulpragasam, Carol Conners, Bill Conti, Wesley "Diplo" Pentz, Ayn Robbins and Deize Tigrona. In 2004 Double Trouble was reissued on the Follow That Dream label in a special edition that contained the original album tracks along with a selection of alternate takes." Bucky Done Gun" is the third single from musician M.I.A.'s album Arular. Two had already been issued as b-sides to singles, " Never Ending", the flipside to a four-year-old album track "Such a Night", and " Blue River" on the back of an eight-year-old vault track, " Tell Me Why." "It Won't Be Long" was recorded for the film but was not used. To bring up the running time, three tracks recorded at the "lost album" sessions of May 1963, were added to push the album over the twenty-minute mark. Nine songs were recorded for the film, coming in at a brief 17:11 and far too short for a normal LP. A frustrated Elvis dutifully went along, but the final straw was having to sing " Old MacDonald," Presley storming out of the session in a huff after finishing a very short master recording of " Long Legged Girl (with the Short Dress On)." That song would be issued as a single in late April, prior to the film's premiere, and would peak at an anemic number 63 on the Billboard Hot 100.
