"Undercover" first surfaced on the Spider-Man soundtrack before Pete Yorn gave it a permanent address on Nightcrawler, his third full-length record, released through Red Ink and Columbia in 2006. Yorn wrote it alone, and it was made apart from the rest of the album: where Nightcrawler spreads production across Michael Beinhorn, Tony Berg, Butch Walker, Evan Frankfort and Yorn himself, "Undercover" was Ken Andrews' show, with Andrews producing, engineering and mixing it.

Around it, Nightcrawler is a crowded house, with Dave Grohl, Rami Jaffe, and Natalie Maines and Martie Maguire of the Chicks among the guests; this soundtrack holdover, one writer and one man behind the board, is the lean outlier.
