"My Friends Over You" was the last song New Found Glory wrote for Sticks and Stones, their third album, in 2002, and they wrote it on purpose: with the record nearly finished, the band went looking for something that could stand next to "Hit or Miss", their biggest single to that point. A lone riff grew into a finished song inside a day or two, and it became the album's lead single.

It's pop-punk at full sprint, Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein's guitars buzzing, Ian Grushka and Cyrus Bolooki pushing hard, and Jordan Pundik singing about picking your friends over a romance that wants to get serious. Neal Avron produced and recorded it, Jay Baumgardner mixed, and all five members share the writing credit. It stands as the band's only entry on the Hot 100.
