"Sorry" comes from Nerf Herder's self-titled 1996 debut, the record Lagwagon's Joey Cape put out as the very first release on his own independent label, My Records, before Arista picked it up for a major-label reissue the same year. Cape produced it with Ryan Greene, who also recorded and mixed it, with Angus Cooke adding engineering. Parry Gripp wrote the words, and the music is credited to Gripp, Charlie Dennis and Steve Sherlock.
The song got a second life three decades on. When the band announced in February 2026 that they were re-recording the whole debut acoustically as Nerf Herder [redux], "Sorry [redux]" was the first single, and the album followed on streaming services through Fat Wreck Chords on May 29, 2026.
