Pop Punk目前越来越受欧美流行音乐界的追捧,这种音乐代表着年青人的时髦潮流和对生活的态度,而Simple Plan正在成为流行朋克圈中的佼佼者,继而在整个流行乐坛成为新一代的天王。
当 Good Charlotte完全屏弃自己的风格而一去不归时,当Sum41沿着金属与硬核的方向继续探索时,同期发表新专辑的Simple Plan简洁明了的摆出自己的立场,他们要让自己固守着的地盘越来越稳固。专辑中的首支单曲《Shut Up》开宗明义,依然是Simple Plan招牌式的流行朋克曲风。而像《Thank You》、《Jump》、《Promise》等作品更是带有第一张专辑的特色,一如既往的爽快有力。整张唱片中最值得称道的应该是像《Crazy》、《Perfect World》以及《Everytime》那样的中慢版歌曲,从精妙紧凑的器乐编配以及更具深度的睿智歌词中,我们能够看到一个逐渐成熟的Simple Plan。很显然,他们已经不再是一群只会在舞台上活蹦乱跳的毛头小子了。

"Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?)" is the third single by the Canadian pop punk band Simple Plan taken from their second studio album Still Not Getting Any....
The song's official title, when the CD was released, was "Untitled", however, when it was released as a single, it was given the parenthetical, perhaps to distinguish it from other songs named "Untitled" or else for the convenience of DJs. The song is notable as one of the group's more serious songs, and for the salient vocals and piano. The music video tells a story of an automobile accident on a rainy night. A man, drinking alcohol while driving, inattentively drives head-on into a car driven by a teenage girl, who dies. The man survives, relatively uninjured, and is apprehended by the police. The 'hook' of the video is what happens to the victim's loved ones at the moment of impact, when they are, in the middle of everyday activities, violently thrown into walls and out windows as the two cars collide. It graphically shows that there are "more victims than people think, and many lives are changed forever", to quote Simple Plan's description:
“ Over the last few years, a lot of people we know have been involved in tragic accidents caused by drinking and driving. One of the students at our high-school crashed his car driving back from a weekend trip and killed his best friend. It was a very sad time that none of us will ever forget. When an accident happens, there are more victims than people think, and many lives are changed forever...Parents, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, grandparents...everybody feels the impact. We wanted to tell a story with this video: the story about all of the innocent victims affected by drinking and driving. ”
The song has since been used in MADD anti-drunk driving campaigns.When performed live, the guitar solo in the middle of the song is performed by Bouvier. Lead guitarist Jeff Stinco plays a semi-acoustic guitar until the end of the solo, while rhythm guitarist Sébastien Lefebvre and drummer Chuck Comeau come in at the beginning of the solo. Bassist Desrosiers' main role in this song is backing vocals, with his bass easing back a bit.
