Social Distortion saved something new for the end of their 2007 Greatest Hits: "Far Behind", a Mike Ness song, words and music, that had never been released before and, going by the compilation's booklet, was recorded just for it. It caught the band mid-changeover: Brent Harding had barely settled in on bass, and Charlie Quintana was making his final recording behind the kit.

Its instrumental parts and structure keep very close company with the Descendents' "Get the Time", from their 1986 album Enjoy!, and it's the sound of veteran punks playing it straight and tough. Alternative rock stations in the US took to it, and it climbed to number 19 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.
