"You Wouldn't Know" was the opening shot from Hellyeah, the 2007 debut by the heavy metal supergroup of the same name, and its five writers, Chad Gray, Tom Maxwell, Jerry Montano, Greg Tribbett and Vinnie Paul, made it land like a statement of intent. Under the alternative-metal stomp sits something heavier: the lyric grew out of what Vinnie Paul went through after his brother, Dimebag Darrell, was murdered, framed as an elder telling a younger listener he could never walk in those shoes.

It climbed to 5 on Billboard's mainstream rock chart and 35 on the modern rock side, got a video that March showing the band live before a huge crowd, and found second lives in Madden NFL 08 and WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008.
