"Sunset in July" was the first single from Universal Pulse, 311's tenth studio album, and it hit the airwaves early: KROQ in Los Angeles gave it its first spin on June 3, 2011. It's a summer song by name and by temperature, too, if PureGrainAudio.com is any guide: the site scored it 7.2 out of 10, called it "catchy, groovy and a very chill listen", and figured it would keep casual listeners and hardcore fans happy alike.

Bob Rock produced it and engineered alongside Giff Tripp, while Chad Sexton played drums and handled the mix himself. Nick Hexum and S.A. Martinez share the vocals, Hexum and Tim Mahoney play guitar, P-Nut plays bass, and the writing credit goes to Hexum, Martinez, P-Nut and Sexton.
