Taproot closed out the Welcome era with "Mine", the second and final single from their 2002 second album, and alongside "Poem" it ranks among the band's most successful songs. All four players share the writing credit: singer and guitarist Stephen Richards, guitarist Mike DeWolf, bassist Phil Lipscomb and drummer Jarrod Montague.
Toby Wright produced it and recorded it with Elliott Blakey, and Andy Wallace mixed it. It's nu metal cut to fit rock radio, heavy but hook-minded. The video came from an unexpected director's chair: Shavo Odadjian, the bassist in System of a Down.
