"When You're On Top" led the charge for Red Letter Days, the Wallflowers' fourth album, which Interscope released on November 5, 2002: it was the first single, and the only song on the record to get a music video. Jakob Dylan wrote it alone, for an album with a tougher, more aggressive sound than anything the band had made before, and the first Wallflowers record on which Dylan played most of the lead guitar himself.
Greg Richling plays bass, Rami Jaffee keyboards and Mario Calire drums. Tobi Miller, the band's first guitarist, produced with Bill Appleberry, and Tom Lord-Alge mixed.
