Saving Abel sent "Drowning (Face Down)" out as the third single from their self-titled Virgin debut, following "18 Days" and paving the way for "Stupid Girl (Only in Hollywood)". It's no-frills post-grunge cut to the exact shape of a rock-radio playlist, and rock radio bit: the song climbed to No. 3 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and No. 24 on the Modern Rock chart.
The video, filmed on March 20, 2009, and out that April 30, runs on high-octane fuel. Part of it was shot at the A2 Wind Tunnel in Mooresville, North Carolina, and it doubles as a NASCAR get-together, featuring former owner-driver Jeremy Mayfield, with drivers Carl Edwards, Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr. and Brian Vickers dropping by for cameos.
