This hard-hitting bruiser was released as the third single from Threat To Survival. It finds Brett Smith warning somebody who is reckless with their mouth that they will get what they deserve and have nobody to blame but themselves. Speaking to the WGRD radio station, Smith said about the song's meaning: "It's pretty straightforward: be careful of the toes that you step on in life, because they may be the attached to the ass that you have to kiss later on. It just means be careful how you treat people, basically, and don't be a jerk."
This is the album's opening song. Smith said: "It's a unique track on the record because it was the very first song that was written for what came to be Threat To Survival, and normally during the writing process, we'll write a lot of songs before we go in to record what the album is going to be - anywhere from between forty and upwards of sixty songs sometimes. 'Asking For It' just kind of held on through the all of the other sessions. It always felt like the opening song to the record, and it is the opening song to the album."
