"Rock the Party (Off the Hook)" was the second single from P.O.D.'s third album and major-label debut, The Fundamental Elements of Southtown, released on Atlantic in August 2000, and it catches the Christian metal band at their most gleeful. It started life as a demo called "Cutz" in 1999, then Howard Benson produced the finished version and Mike Plotnikoff mixed it.
Sonny Sandoval takes the vocal over Marcos Curiel's guitar, Traa Daniels's bass and Wuv Bernardo's drums, with Lisa Papineau adding backing vocals, and the whole band shares the writing credit. Marcos Siega directed the video, which has the band driving a tour bus around picking up fans before a show in front of a crowd; TVU later ranked it number 18 on its list of the 50 best videos of all time. A remix surfaced in 2021 on the expanded 20th-anniversary edition of Satellite.
