"Y'all Want a Single" is Korn flipping the bird at the hit machine, a track from their sixth album, Take a Look in the Mirror, that Epic sent out as its third single in March 2004. Fans chose it themselves through a vote on Korn's official forum. Guitarist James Shaffer laid out the backstory in a November 2003 interview with Metal Hammer: the band had 10 songs in the can before Ozzfest, went back in to add more, and then the label and their management, The Firm, started leaning on them for a smash single. The band was appalled, and the song is aimed right at that request.
It runs three minutes and 17 seconds and packs in 89 F-words, so the radio edit needed a heavy hand. Jonathan Davis produced it with the band, and Frank Filipetti recorded, mixed and added production.
