"Over My Head (Better Off Dead)" closed out the singles from Does This Look Infected?, Sum 41's 2002 album, going out in June 2003 as the third and last of them. Deryck Whibley wrote it with Steve Jocz and producer Greig Nori, and it's a punk rock morning-after song with a twist: Whibley has said it isn't about getting wasted at all, but about the fallout, hearing the next day everything you did the night before, and being asked about it every single morning. He didn't regret any of it; he just hated the replay.
An acoustic version turned up on the European single and later on the Chuck Acoustic EP in 2005. Chris Hafner's video, pieced together from backstage footage and concert clips, was only released in Canada, Japan and the UK.
