"Don't Fight It" opened the account for Cruel Guards, the third studio album by Australian band The Panics, arriving in August 2007 on Dew Process. Jae Laffer wrote the words and sings lead, and the music is shared across the band: Laffer on guitar, piano and harmonica, Jules Douglas on guitar, organ and piano, Drew Wootton on guitar, Paul Otway on bass and Myles Wootton on drums and percussion, with Simon Ferenci's trumpet and Naomi Radom's strings widening the frame. Victor van Vugt mixed it.
It became the band's first single to crack the ARIA top 100, earned an ARIA nomination in 2008, and found a second life on screen, closing an episode of Ugly Betty and turning up in Underbelly and on its soundtrack.
