Kroeger, along with Saliva vocalist Josey Scott, Theory of a Deadman lead vocalist (serving as guitarist for this track) Tyler Connolly and Our Lady Peace drummer Jeremy Taggart, performed the theme song titled "Hero" for the hit movie "Spider-Man" in 2002. Also in 2002, Kroeger wrote and sang on "Why Don't You & I" for Santana's "Shaman". However, when Arista decided to release the song as a single in Summer 2003, Kroeger's label, Roadrunner, refused permission, citing concerns that Kroeger appearing on a "high-profile single" would compromise the excitement over Nickelback's fall 2003 release "The Long Road". Kroeger recommended The Calling's Alex Band, another Arista artist, as a replacement for re-recording the single.
