Band manager Josh Klemme allegedly leaked the first single "Too Drunk..." to the internet, only to later claim in a press release that it had been pirated.[5]
The songs "Rescue Me" and "Don't Go Away" were eventually placed on the band's MySpace page. "Rescue Me" was released for download in the video game series Rock Band. "Don't Go Away" was selected as the second single to be released from the album.[6]
A Child Called "It"
Vocalist Josh Todd has mentioned that the songs "Rescue Me" and "A Child Called "It"" were both inspired by the Dave Pelzer book, A Child Called "It". "There were times when I had to put the book down because the abuse of this boy was so bad, but I felt like the book found me… I was compelled to write this song out of inspiration from this guy’s incredible journey."[7]
"Rescue Me" was used as the official theme song for the WWE Judgment Day 2009 pay-per view.[8]
