Puddle of Mudd had been carrying "Drift and Die" around for years before it broke. The song first showed up on Stuck, the band's 1994 EP, and went out as a local single back then.

In 2002 it got a second shot on Come Clean, their second studio album on Flawless and Geffen, going out as that record's third single after "Blurry" and before "She Hates Me", and it sat at number one on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for six weeks that summer. The video is set in Los Angeles, trailing a band member through practice and rehearsals for a show before ending on the rooftop helipad of the US Bank Tower with the city laid out below.
