Shinedown followed "Save Me" with "I Dare You", the second single from their second album, Us and Them, released in 2005. Brent Smith wrote it with bassist Brad Stewart and producer Tony Battaglia, and he sings it like a challenge thrown down, with Jasin Todd's electric guitar and Barry Kerch's drums backing him up and Tom Lord-Alge giving it a big, glossy mix.
It got to 2 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and crossed over to 88 on the Hot 100. Wrestling fans heard it as a secondary theme for WWE's WrestleMania 22 and in a promo for SmackDown's move to myNetworkTV in 2008, and Chris Daughtry sang it on American Idol.
