"Animals" is a song by Canadian rock band Nickelback. It was released in November 2005 as the second American single from their fifth studio album, All the Right Reasons. In Australia, the song was released as the album's fourth single in mid-2006. "Animals" reached number one on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number 27 in Australia.

"Animals" is a fast-paced song with a "thick, aggressive hard rock tone", according to Guitar Chalk.[2] The song features lyrics about a couple having sex in a car,[3] with their sexual interaction compared to "animals", until the couple are discovered by the woman's father.[4]

Reception

Christopher Rosa of VH1 wrote: "I'm confused why women in Nickelback's lyrics have to get sexual the second they enter a scene. They're capable of more than playing with your gears, Chad".[5]
