"You're Going Down" led the charge for Tri-Polar, the third Sick Puppies album, out on Virgin in June 2009, and fans could already hear it on the band's Myspace page before the official release. It's nu metal cut for combat, all clenched fists and a chorus that lands like a threat, and that was the plan: Moore said he wrote it by picturing what someone psyching up to climb into the ring would want in their ears.

Anyone in need of adrenaline took the hint. WWE made it the official theme of its Extreme Rules pay-per-view and put it on the soundtrack of the SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 video game, the Montreal Alouettes used it in a pre-game video at the 96th Grey Cup, and it opened the 2010 live-action film version of Tekken.
