Stone Sour unveiled "Song #3" on April 27, 2017, the day they announced Hydrograd, their sixth album, releasing it as a pair with "Fabuless". Next to that one, this was the friendlier face: Corey Taylor sings the verses low and gentle over gloomy guitar chords before the chorus blows the doors open with stacked melodic guitars and a brighter, hopeful lift.
All five members wrote it, with Taylor, Josh Rand and Christian Martucci on guitars, Johny Chow on bass and Roy Mayorga on drums, and Jay Ruston produced it with the band and mixed it for Roadrunner. Rock radio grabbed it, and it sat on top of Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart for five straight weeks. That June, Taylor even played it alone on an acoustic guitar on the Japanese TV show Sukkiri!
