This was the lead single on the first album released by Taking Back Sunday since they replaced guitarist Fred Mascherino with new axe-man Matt Fazzi. Fittingly it's called New Again. Fazzi explained to MTV News: "We wanted to put a new foot forward for the band... to try to show people that we're expanding the music and we can do something different and it will work. I just feel like every aspect of the band has taken a step forward. I think the chord turns and the song structures are just a little bit stronger and smarter. We've kind of collected this knowledge over time, just by writing songs, and I feel like we were able to put something together that was pretty unique... it's kind of like we decided to wipe the slate clean and explore some different things."
Frontman Adam Lazzara told MTV News about this song: "The music behind it is unlike anything we've ever done before. It's real upbeat and it's a song that when we start playing it live, will require a lot of crowd participation, which we're really looking forward to. And the chorus... we always try to open up in the chorus in the sense of the wider you open the doors, the more people you're gonna let in. It makes Kanye West sound like Sesame Street and that always makes me happy."
New Again was the fourth studio album to be released by Taking Back Sunday. The American rock band released their first longplayer, Tell All Your Friends in 2002.
