"Underdog" is the fifth full-length album released by Audio Adrenaline. The album's lyrics are a slight departure from "Some Kind of Zombie", as they focus more on missions and the word of God being spread, as shown in "Hands and Feet" and "Jesus Movement"; a theme that would reappear in "Worldwide". Other songs, such as "Get Down" and "Good Life", reflect on God's influence in a Christian life.

The album also contains a rerecording of "DC-10" (which had originally appeared on the band's debut album), a cover of "Let My Love Open the Door" by Pete Townshend, and a recording of "It Is Well With My Soul", the only recording of a traditional worship song on any of the band's albums.
