"Anthem of Our Dying Day" was the second single from Page Avenue, Story of the Year's 2003 debut, hitting radio on April 13, 2004, and it climbed to number 10 on the Modern Rock chart. Drummer Josh Wills wrote the first verse before the band jammed out the rest, bassist Adam Russell worked on the lyrics with Saves the Day and Glassjaw on his mind, and guitarist Phil Sneed has said it's about ghosts.

John Feldmann produced, recorded and mixed it and added backing vocals. It's a big pop-punk rush: Ryan Phillips and Sneed's guitars churning, Wills pounding away, and Dan Marsala's voice swinging from melody to a raw-throated roar.
