"Leave It Alone" comes from Punk in Drublic, NOFX's fifth studio album, which Epitaph put out on July 19, 1994 under a title that spoonerizes "Drunk in Public". Fat Mike wrote it with Eric Melvin and produced it with Ryan Greene, who also engineered and mixed, with Steve Kravac assisting on both jobs.
It sits on the record that turned out to be the band's biggest. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine heard the same "heavy, speed-addled, hook-conscious" outfit as ever, only with sharper songs and a meaner attack, and the album went on to sell over a million copies worldwide and leave its fingerprints on records by Blink-182, Sum 41 and Anti-Flag.
