"She Loves Me Not" led off Papa Roach's third album, Lovehatetragedy, as its first single in 2002, but the song was older than that. It first surfaced in 1999 on a five-track promo and demo disc bankrolled by Warner Bros. Records, then got left off Infest because the band thought it rocked too straight.

Re-recorded with Brendan O'Brien producing and mixing and Nick DiDia recording, it came back lean and punchy: Tobin Esperance wrote the music and plays bass and guitar, Jacoby Shaddix wrote the words and sings, Jerry Horton adds guitar and David Buckner drums. David Meyers' video drops the band into a crumbling theme park where the crowd is busy trashing the place, with a figure flickering onscreen for a single frame at three points, subliminal-style. The song also landed on the NHL 2003 soundtrack.
