Dexter Holland wrote "(Can't Get My) Head Around You" for Splinter, the Offspring's seventh album, released in 2003, and it hit radio as the record's second single in February 2004. Brendan O'Brien produced and mixed it, keeping it tight and punchy, all nervous punk energy and a hook built for shouting along.
The video was a stunt in its own right: director Joseph Kahn put the band inside a dome lit with fluorescent tubes and filmed them with more than 125 cameras, with Chris Watts running the effects and the multicamera rig. It was also the first Offspring clip to show Atom Willard behind the drums. The song later closed out the band's 2005 Greatest Hits.
