"Lipstick and Bruises" kicked off Lit's third album, Atomic, as its lead single on October 16, 2001, and it's the band doing what it does best: big, bratty guitar-pop with a chorus built for car stereos. A. Jay Popoff and Jeremy Popoff wrote it.
It got a boost from the movies, turning up in Out Cold that year and in the Britney Spears vehicle Crossroads in 2002, and it reached number 10 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart, the best showing of any single from the album. Mark Gerard directed the video, which keeps it simple: the band on stage in front of a crowd.
