"Bullets" throws open Weathered, Creed's third album, from 2001, and it comes out swinging. Scott Stapp and Mark Tremonti wrote it the way they wrote the whole record, in four-hour bursts over three weeks, some in Stapp's living room and some aboard his Sea Ray cruiser, with Stapp on words and Tremonti on music. The band then tracked and mixed it at J. Stanley Productions in Ocoee, Florida.
Tremonti's riffing here is about as fast and mean as he ever got in Creed, and the track is counted among the band's heaviest. Stapp aimed the words squarely at the critics and press he felt had treated the band unfairly for years, which gives the song its clenched-fist defiance. It was the second single pulled from the album.
