"Don't Tread on Me" was the title track and first single of 311's eighth studio album in 2005, arriving after the Greatest Hits '93–'03 roundup. Nick Hexum and P-Nut wrote the music, Hexum and S.A. Martinez the words, and the two singers trade lines over Tim Mahoney's and Hexum's guitars, P-Nut's rubbery bass and Chad Sexton's drums. The band produced it with Saint, with extra production from David Kahne, and the result is breezy, sun-baked alt-rock with a punch. It became the band's seventh trip into the top five of Billboard's Alternative chart.
