"Head on Collision" was the second single from Sticks and Stones, New Found Glory's third studio album, from 2002, and it's pop-punk with its heart sewn onto its sleeve. The band wrote it together, with Jordan Pundik singing, Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein on guitars, Ian Grushka on bass and Cyrus Bolooki on drums; Neal Avron produced and recorded it, and Jay Baumgardner mixed it.

It peaked at number 28 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, and the single came with radio-session versions of the song and of "Something I Call Personality". One more claim to fame: the pop-punk band All Time Low took their name from its lyrics.
