 "Girl All the Bad Guys Want" came after a dry spell for the band and was followed by the popular album "A Hangover You Don't Deserve", leading frontman Jaret Reddick to refer to it as "the career-saving song" on MTV.The song was written by Butch Walker (formerly of Marvelous 3), who has also written songs for Avril Lavigne and SR-71.The music video was directed by Smith N Borin and featured the band in various spoofs of nu metal bands' videos, such as Staind's "It's Been Awhile" and Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff", both of which were directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.
