On the week ending November 6, 2010, "Tighten Up" debuted at number 93 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2011, Rolling Stone put the song on its list of the 15 Best Whistling Songs of All Time. In 2012, Complex ranked the song number one on their list of the 15 greatest Black Keys songs, and in 2019, Paste ranked the song number three on their list of the 10 greatest Black Keys songs. "Tighten Up" is widely considered to be one of the Black Keys' greatest songs. The official music video won the 2010 MTV Video Music Award for Breakthrough Video, and it appears on Pitchfork's top music videos of 2010. Their boys come to them and shake their heads at them with disappointment. They hit each other using mostly Carney's drum kit and after the woman sees them fighting, she walks away in disgust. After Auerbach and Carney attempt in vain to break up the fight, they see the mother of the girl, played by Spanish actress Carlotta Elektra Bosch, and begin to fight like their sons. After he attempts to kiss her, the two boys begin to fight. He climbs up on the playground and goes in to kiss her but then he opens his eyes to realize Carney's son has lured her away. Auerbach's son looks up on the playground to see a little girl, after which he starts to lip sync to the song. Auerbach sits next to Carney on a bench while their fictional sons play with toy trucks. It shows Auerbach and his fictional son walking to the park. The official music video, also directed by Piliero, was released on May 18, 2010. He later made a similar teaser video for "Next Girl", where Frank interacts with bikini-clad models. Piliero was inspired by both "stupid kid shit that could still be for adults, like Yo Gabba Gabba! and "all these weird and sometimes creepy old-school puppet stuff from the 50s, 60s, 70s.", considering at first an ALF doll before settling on the dinosaur. The video was made by director Chris Marrs Piliero as the label asked them to do a placeholder video for "Tighten Up" as a teaser for Brothers. "This is a song by the Black Keys", "It's from an album called Brothers", etc. "Frank has a profile on eHarmony." "He is a puppet, not a real dinosaur." This goes along the same direction of using sort of "obvious" or "simple" ways to say things like the album cover does e.g. The video shows him dancing and miming the words a little, whilst subtitles go on saying different facts about the video, the band, and Frank e.g. The original music video for the song was a low-budget clip starring a puppet dinosaur named Frank who is standing beside a plant. Musically, the song is in the key of F sharp minor. At the 53rd Grammy Awards in 2011, the song won Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal (the last song to receive the award), while also receiving a nomination for Best Rock Song. The song has become one of the most successful Black Keys singles in the United States, being their first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching number one on the Alternative Songs and Rock Songs charts.
It is the third track on their 2010 album Brothers and was released as the record's first single on April 23, 2010.
