Critical reception

Larry Flick, of Billboard magazine, reviewed the song favorably, saying that it "neatly walks a line between polished modern rock and a clever turn at accessible adult top 40, charged up with grimacing guitars and a pace frantic enough to shake the perm loose from the intended audience's girlfriends."[2]

Music videos

There are two different music videos of this song.

The first music video is a very large teenage party that Sum 41 is playing at, where a lot of destruction is done to the house as the night goes on, including a car being driven into the house, and features Deryck Whibley with black hair.[3] At one point rapper DMX makes a cameo appearance on an ATV.[4] The other video contains miscellaneous clips of them performing, and features Deryck Whibley with blonde hair.[5]
