Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Self Esteem. By Songfacts®.

This song is about a guy who lets his girlfriend walk all over him. The reason: he has no self esteem.

Offspring lead singer Dexter Holland wrote this song. It's a semi-true story based on his own experiences and that of his friends. "The thing where late at night she knocks on my door was real," he told Radio.com, referring to the lyrics, "Late at night she knocks on my door, she's drunk again and looking to score." He added: "And practicing all the things you would say was a funny thing that had happened before."

According to The Offspring's Greatest Hits DVD, the famous intro on the song where the members sing along to the tune of the main riff was first going to be played on acoustic guitar before the electric guitars come in.
