"Collide" was yet another musical shift for the band.Citing P.O.D. as inspiration for the musical shift on "Collide", Cooper said, "Well I'm one of these song writers, everything I hear goes through my John Cooper filter of what I like and what I don't like. [...] All these things [...] have been an influence on me."
