This is one of those songs still gets me jammin' everytime I listen to it. I like 3 Doors Down and think that this is the best song they've ever released... The lyrics and the delivery are impeccable.

Yeah, I think this still wins by a head in the 5-song race for the best song of 2000 for me. I was just bowled over when I first heard this song (which was around June or July that year). I think this marked the beginning of my transition toward liking alternative rock. I had always liked rock, but this struck a chord for me somehow. I mean, I was just out of junior high, it was a great summer, and I felt this song, not only defined the summer, but probably the year for me. I was kinda pissed, though, that it seemed to lose every year-end countdown to "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon. Of course, that was before I became savvy about the ways or radio charts and whatnot.
And I finally got The Better Life last month, something I had resolved to do for about four years now, though I still have to listen to it.

Great song, but I've always preferred Loser.

This is a very good song, but is still overplayed to this day. Hot AC, Rock, Jack, etc. all still play it. When all is said and done this may be the most played song of the decade

I agree, this is the best song these guys have ever released. 2000 was full of big rock songs , EYW , Bent , Story of a Girl , WAWO just to name a few. Brings back some nice memories. 2000/01 is still my favorite time of this decade (March2000- July 2001 to be correct) , personally not musically.

When this was popular, I remember Leeza Gibbons doing a tie-in to this song about all the different kinds of kyrpotonite in the "Superman" comic books. There was one color that would turn Superman into a baby. :)

Good song, but I prefer the (unrelated) version by Purple Ribbon Allstars. :)

My favorite 3DD song. I love it even today. I remember seeing the video for it in the summer of 2000 and loving it from day 1.

I was kinda pissed, though, that this song seemed to lose every year-end countdown to "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon. If this song had come out several months earlier, it probably would have won the top spot of the year because as I recall, it ranked high on the 2001 list. But I rather liked the novelty of the top song of the year being a song that never hit #1.

Good song but a bit overrated. There were so many better rock songs from that era.
