"Sinner" is the third single by heavy metal band Drowning Pool off their debut album "Sinner". It serves as the first track on the aforementioned album and as well as its final single in 2002. With its fast paced, catchy guitar riffs, the song became a success on radio and is one of the group's best known songs. Though not as big of a hit as "Bodies," "Sinner" became a successful single and live concert staple.

Regarding the song's meaning, vocalist Dave Williams explained, "Every religion has a list ... Catholics can drink and that's OK, but the Baptists say if you drink you're going to Hell. Everybody's got that list of what is going to keep you from getting into Heaven, but everybody's broken at least one of those rules, no matter what religion you are ... basically, I'm just saying we're all sinners."

The track served as the theme song of the film "The One", starring Jet Li, and the WWF Vengeance pay-per-view in 2001.

Music video

The "Sinner" music video was filmed in October 2001 and directed by Gregory Dark, known for his X-rated work. It was shot in and around an abandoned Los Angeles motel called the Pink Lady, was inspired by the David Fincher film "Seven". The video features the band playing in a swimming pool during heavy rain. Footage includes a dominatrix and pit bulls, a woman who lies in a tanning bed until her skin becomes leathery, and an obese man sitting in a recliner in front of a TV set. The man continuously gorges on food until finally his belly explodes, his innards splattering all over the room.
