"Speak Easy" comes off Don’t Tread on Me, the album 311 released in 2005, and the credits spread the song around: Chad Sexton composed the music and plays the percussion, Nick Hexum and S.A. Martinez wrote the words and share the vocals, Hexum and Tim Mahoney handle the guitars, and P-Nut holds down the bass. The band produced it with Saint, who also engineered and mixed, while David Kahne added production and Giff Tripp assisted on the engineering. The surprise in the credits is Robert Greenidge on steel pan, a bright, rippling color set against the guitars.
