Musically, "Genghis Khan" is an electropop song with funk and R&B influences and lyrics which see the protagonist likening his jealousy to the behavior of the Mongolian emperor. "Genghis Khan" was released as iii's second single on 3 December 2015 through Jackalope and Atlantic. It attracted generally positive reviews from music critics, many of whom regarded it a focal point on iii and commended its catchiness, although some critiqued its subject matter. Commercially, it is among the band's most successful singles and appeared on several Billboard charts, achieving its highest peak at number six on Alternative Airplay. The song received a platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). "Genghis Khan" became Miike Snow's first song to chart in their native Sweden, peaking at number eight on the Heatseeker chart. The single also peaked at number 86 in Canada, where it was certified gold, and at number 44 in Australia. The accompanying music video for "Genghis Khan", directed by Ninian Doff, depicts a love story between a villain and a James Bond-esque spy. The visual was met with acclaim from commentators, who applauded its theme and choreography. It received two UK Music Video Awards and a Webby Award nomination. Miike Snow has performed live renditions of "Genghis Khan" on several occasions, including Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the radio program Morning Becomes Eclectic. In 2016, American duo MS MR performed a live cover of the song for Triple J's Like a Version. (en)
  • «Genghis Khan» (рус. Чингисхан) — песня шведской инди-поп группы Miike Snow с их третьего студийного альбома iii (2016). Песня была написана и спродюсирована группой совместно с Генриком Джонбеком. «Genghis Khan» была выпущена как второй сингл, входящего в третий полноценный альбом группы, 3 декабря 2015 года. Он получил в целом положительные отзывы от музыкальных критиков, многие из которых сочли его центром альбома и хвалили за броскость, хотя некоторые остались недовольны выбранной тематикой. С коммерческой точки зрения, он входит в число самых успешных синглов группы и фигурирует в нескольких чартах Billboard. «Genghis Khan» стала первой песней группы, попавшей в чарты в их родной Швеции, достигнув восьмого места в Heatseeker. Сингл также достиг 86-й строчки в Канаде, где получил золотую сертификацию, достиг 44 места в Австралии. (ru)
