Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Dressed To Kill. By Songfacts®.

This song is the story of a boy and a girl. She lives next door and is always "dressed to kill" and really pretty, but she has a boyfriend. They secretly have crushes on each other, but in the end they find out and live happily ever after.

Chad Gilbert (guitar) told Kerrang! magazine February 16, 2008: "It's about having to break up a relationship!" Steve Klein (guitar) added: "It's basically saying that you know the girl is good enough to get somebody else. We all talk about our problems with each other. That's what makes our songs so emotional. Chad will come with an idea, and then I'll kind of put myself in his shoes, and I write the song from that perspective. There are songs about all of us."

The video features Gilbert's screen idol, actress Rachel Leigh Cook. He admitted to Kerrang!: "I said to my friends, 'One of these days I'm going to meet this girl.' Then 4 years later we got her in our video."
