"Same in the End" comes from Sublime, the band's third album, which MCA released on July 30, 1996, two months after Bradley Nowell died of a heroin overdose. Nowell wrote it with drummer Bud Gaugh and bassist Eric Wilson, and he sings it and plays the electric guitar; Paul Leary produced and mixed it, with Stuart Sullivan engineering.

The album was cut over three months in Austin, Texas, in sessions soaked in drugs and partying while Nowell was fighting a heroin habit, and it careens between punk, reggae and ska, dub and hip-hop at wildly shifting tempos, with his words circling relationships, riots and addiction. He never saw it come out, the band ended with him, and the record he left behind is the one that carried "What I Got", "Santeria" and "Wrong Way".
