"Listen" was the second single from Disciplined Breakdown, Collective Soul's third album, and in 1997 it kept a hot streak going, becoming the band's fourth straight chart-topper on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks. Ed Roland did the heavy lifting, writing the music and the lyrics and producing the track himself, with a hand in the engineering too. Greg Archilla engineered and mixed it for Atlantic. It's the band's formula at full strength: a sturdy hook and a chorus built to carry across a parking lot.
