"Fat Lip" was the lead single from Sum 41's 2001 debut album All Killer No Filler, where it sits as the fourth track, and it remains the Canadian band's most successful single. Deryck Whibley, Dave Baksh and Steve Jocz are credited as its writers, Jerry Finn produced it for Island, Joe McGrath engineered and Tom Lord-Alge mixed.

It's a snotty, sugar-rushed blast of pop-punk, smart-mouthed sing-speak verses bouncing off a hard-charging, shout-along chorus, with guitars that crunch just enough to keep the skate-park crowd happy. Finn's production keeps it tight and bright, every hook polished to a gleam without sanding off the brattiness.

It went to number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and reached eight in the UK, a sugar high that still hasn't worn off.
