"The River" led Good Charlotte's Good Morning Revival into North America in early 2007, and they brought company: M. Shadows and Synyster Gates of Avenged Sevenfold are featured on it. Joel and Benji Madden wrote it, Don Gilmore produced and Andy Wallace mixed. The band premiered it on their website and Myspace in January before it reached radio later that month, though it had already turned up in the background of a GCTV web episode in December.
The song is shot through with Bible references, and the band timed it to run exactly three minutes and sixteen seconds as a nod to John 3:16. After the death of Jimmy "the Rev" Sullivan, Good Charlotte dedicated it to him.
