“Baby You Don't Wanna Know” by Sum 41

"Baby You Don't Wanna Know" was the second single from Screaming Bloody Murder, Sum 41's fifth album, going to Canadian radio on June 15, 2011 and reaching the rest of the world, video in tow, that August. It was also one of the record's latecomers: according to the band's making-of documentary, Don't Try This at Home, it and "Time for You to Go" were written and cut in a rush at EastWest Studios in Hollywood on April 7, 2010.

The label wouldn't spring for any more songs, so Deryck Whibley paid for the session himself; he produced and mixed the track and wrote it with Matt Squire. Money well spent: where the songs from 2008 and 2009 went dark, this one struts. Todd Morse described it as classic, straight-up rock and roll with the Rolling Stones and the Beatles in its blood.
