"Will You" led the charge for Payable on Death, the fifth album from the Christian metal band P.O.D., in September 2003, and they picked it because it showed a side of them nobody had heard. Sonny Sandoval drops the rapping and sings it straight, the guitar work gets busier and more intricate, and underneath, Traa's bass and Wuv's drums still lay down that heavy-bottomed groove.

The lyric is anxious and a little desperate, about a relationship teetering on the edge; Sandoval has said it came out darker than the usual love song and is really about standing by someone through the rough stretches. Howard Benson produced with the band, Rich Costey mixed it, and Marc Webb, who had directed their previous clip, shot the video in Los Angeles.
