"Leech" comes from Eve 6's self-titled 1998 album, and with a name like that it was never going to be a valentine. The whole band shares the music credit, while Max Collins and Jon Siebels wrote the words.

Don Gilmore ran the sessions from start to finish, producing, engineering and mixing the track himself, with Zak Belica, Billy Bowers, John Burton and Doug Trantow assisting behind the glass. One man steering the whole job tends to keep a record tight and punchy, and rock radio's countdowns picked it up in 1998 and hung on into the next year.
