"In Too Deep" is track seven on All Killer No Filler, Sum 41's 2001 debut album, and it went out as the record's second single that September. How it came to be depends on who's telling it. Deryck Whibley has said he came up with the riff at 18 while waiting for guitarist Dave Baksh to pick him up for a night out in downtown Toronto, rattling off the verses and chorus in a few minutes and saving the rest for months later. Others, drummer Steve Jocz among them, say it began as a reggae tune for co-writer Greig Nori's band Treble Charger, with the rapper Snow on the verses.

Either way, it came out as pure pop-punk: bouncy, bratty and built for a skate-park singalong, with Nori on backing vocals. Jerry Finn produced and Tom Lord-Alge mixed, giving it a bright, punchy shine.
