"...To Be Loved" was the first single from The Paramour Sessions, Papa Roach's fifth album, released on Geffen in 2006, and it's a tip of the hat to the band's early days with a twist. It opens with a rap that tips over into rapid-fire screaming, and from there Jacoby Shaddix sings it out, keeping the muscular hard rock of the record before it. Shaddix wrote it with Tobin Esperance, and Howard Benson produced it with the band, playing keyboards too, while Lenny Castro added percussion and Chris Lord-Alge mixed it loud and gleaming.
It reached American radio in August 2006 and climbed to number eight on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. WWE picked it as the official theme for Raw on the USA Network, where it ran from October 2006 until November 2009, and it also played in the trailer for the 2008 film Never Back Down.
