"I Know You Love Me" got the single and the video when the Smoking Popes released Destination Failure, their third album, on Capitol on August 26, 1997, and the lyric nods to Josh Caterer's newfound interest in Christianity. He wrote it, sings lead and plays guitar alongside Eli Caterer, who adds backing vocals, with Matt Caterer on bass and Mike Felumlee on drums. Jerry Finn produced the album, with Phil Bonnet engineering, over sessions split between the Chicago Recording Company and Conway Studios in Hollywood.
None of it saved the record, which missed the charts. It was the Chicago pop punks' last album before a hiatus of nearly seven years: Capitol rejected their covers album, The Party's Over, and the band broke up in December 1998.
