"The Best Things" was one of three singles from Title of Record, the second Filter album, released on Reprise in August 1999. Richard Patrick wrote the music and produced it with Ben Grosse, who also mixed it, with Rae DiLeo and Geno Lenardo co-producing.
The record behind it took some getting to: early sessions crawled along while the lineup shifted and Patrick built his own studio to make it in, and things only picked up once the band settled and extra production hands came aboard. The payoff was a platinum album that Filter took out on the 1999 Family Values Tour, with "Welcome to the Fold" and "Take a Picture" as this song's sister singles.
