Three Days Grace wrung a fourth and final single out of One-X, their 2006 second album, when "Riot" came out in November 2007, and it catches the band at its most pummeling. Howard Benson produced it and added keyboards, Chris Lord-Alge mixed, and the lineup on the credits is lean: Adam Gontier singing lead and playing guitar, Brad Walst on bass, Neil Sanderson on drums and backing vocals.
It nearly had a famous guest. Gontier later told Loudwire that while the band was recording it in Los Angeles, Deftones were close by, so they reached out to Chino Moreno's management, and Moreno was up for it, but the collaboration fell through. The song did fine without him: 4x Platinum in the US, Platinum in Canada, and a peak of 12 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.
