Alkaline Trio went back home for "This Addiction", the title track and first single from their 2010 album, which went out as a download on January 12, 2010, with a seven-inch following in February as a Hot Topic exclusive. They recorded it in July 2009 at Atlas Studios in Chicago, where much of their early work was made, and brought back Matt Allison, the man behind Goddamnit and Maybe I'll Catch Fire, to engineer, co-produce and mix, all in the name of getting back to their punk rock roots.
Matt Skiba wrote it, though the album credits the whole band, and they'd been playing it live since their spring 2009 tour. The hook is the metaphor: a love song told in the language of heroin and methadone.
