"Who Are They" turns up on Libido, the fourth album from American ska-punk crew Buck-O-Nine, which TVT Records released in 1999, and the writing credit goes to the band as a whole. Howard Benson came in for additional production, Chris Lord-Alge mixed it, and Steve Kravac handled extra engineering.
Libido was the band's bid to stretch past straight-ahead ska punk, and critics split on the result. The Hamilton Spectator heard trumpets and trombones tangling with rushed snare and scratchy guitar and liked the band's knowing wink, while the Calgary Herald figured horn-driven suburban angst already sounded nostalgic in 1999.
