"Walk Away" first surfaced in June 2003 on Blackout, the fourth Dropkick Murphys album, and it led the charge as the record's first official single, with a music video to go with it. Ken Casey produced it, Jim Siegel engineered and mixed, and the songwriting credit goes to the band as a whole.

It became a minor radio hit and picked up a bit of airplay on MTV, and "Fields of Athenry" got a single release of its own. The album came packaged with a DVD of live footage and a video for "Gonna Be a Blackout Tonight", the last release with Ryan Foltz, who had left the band before the album was recorded.
