"Leave It Alone" came off American Standard, the 1992 album that turned out to be the third and last by Mary's Danish, and it climbed to 20 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. The writing credit goes to the whole band, and on this record that meant all six members pitching in, after they'd rented a loft in Central Los Angeles to jam their way into the material before the sessions.

Peter Asher, who was also managing the band, produced most of the album, with Niko Bolas engineering and lending a hand on production, and they got it down in 10 days at Skywalker Sound. The band took the songs on the road with a Rock the Vote tour, then went out with the Darling Buds.
