"Always" was the first single from Back into Your System, Saliva's third studio album, released in 2002, with Bob Marlette producing for Island Records. It turned out to be the band's high-water mark on the charts: a week at number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks in February 2003, the only time Saliva ever got there, plus a run to 51 on the Hot 100, their best showing on that chart, and a place in the top 50 in Ireland and the UK.

Charles Infante directed the video, which follows a man wandering the city, haunted by the ghost of a woman he used to know.
