The first airing of the single in the UK was in the Muni Arts Center in Pontypridd on the 24 April, 2006.
The song is taken from the number one album Liberation Transmission and was recorded in Hawaii. The b-sides found on the single came from the same sessions - all of which are brand new tracks.
The single entered the UK Singles Chart at #8, making it the joint highest performing Lostprophets single along with Last Train Home.
Music video
The music video for the song, filmed on location in Los Angeles, California and directed by Ryan Smith, shows the band on top of what appears to be a helicopter pad. At the beginning, the individual members of the band are shown, while a flag showing the band's logo, flutters behind them. As the band sings, three teenagers are shown. They are a girl sitting at dinner with her parents when they suddenly start arguing, a boy with piercings in his mouth and chin in a kitchen as his boss starts shouting at him, possibly for being too slow with the orders, and a boy sitting in the back seat of a car while his father shouts at him. As the band reaches the "scream your heart out" portion of the song, the teenagers can not take anymore and start to scream suddenly. The girl with the arguing parents shatters every glass on the table as her mother covers her ears, the diner boy blowing plates off the shelf in front of him, and the boy blowing out the car's windows. The band finishes playing, and the view goes fuzzy.
Cultural references
The chorus was inspired by the scene in the film Garden State where the characters are screaming into a chasm. The general theme of the song also matches the film's — "make a mark" in your life while there's still time. One of its lyrics "scream your heart out" can also be found on Lostprophets' previous single Goodbye Tonight. The song lyrics and rhythm structure bear resemblance to the song of the same name by Mest, recorded for their 2003 albums. The song is played at WWE house shows when Jeff Hardy is about to wrestle and was also used for his highlight video on two separate occasions. The song is a playable track in Guitar Hero: World Tour.
