Dexter Holland wrote "Amazed" by himself, words and music, for Ixnay on the Hombre, the Offspring's fourth album, which Columbia released in February 1997 as the band's first record for the label. It was the follow-up to the massive success of Smash, and the band went in to cut it in the middle of 1996 with a new man at the desk: Dave Jerden, the first producer other than Thom Wilson to make an Offspring album. Jerden produced and mixed this track, Bryan Carlstrom engineered, and Annette Cisneros and Brian Jerden assisted.
"Amazed" wasn't among the album's four singles, which makes it one for the fans who dug past "All I Want" and "Gone Away". The record's title, a mash of Pig Latin and Spanish, boils down to a profane brush-off aimed at the Man, meaning authority.
