"Fall Back Down" led the charge for Rancid's sixth album, Indestructible, hitting radio in July 2003 as its first single. Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederiksen wrote it after Armstrong's divorce from Distillers singer Brody Dalle, but it's no bitter breakup song: it's about friendship, about the people who stand by you when everything caves in.

It's a big, arms-around-the-shoulders punk sing-along with guitar to burn, packing three solos, two from Armstrong and one from Frederiksen. Brett Gurewitz produced it for Hellcat, Nick Raskulinecz engineered and Joe Barresi mixed. Benji Madden of Good Charlotte and Kelly Osbourne dropped into the video, and the song later rode along on the soundtracks of Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and Forza Horizon 3.
