One of the most successful rock bands to have emerged in recent years, 3 Doors Down is considered a phenomenon within the music industry. Often called 3DD, this five-piece outfit came out of small-town Mississippi to become a record-breaking act whose two albums and handful of singles have sold in the millions.

The band became the first debut act in the history of the record charts to hit number one concurrently in Modern Rock, Active Rock, Album Rock, and Heritage Rock radio formats. Their sound is characterized by catchy tunes, big sonics, dynamic guitar interplay, a muscular rhythm section, and Brad Arnold's thoughtful lyrics and impassioned baritone vocals.

The core group that comprises 3 Doors Down--vocalist Arnold, guitarists Matt Roberts and Chris Henderson, and bassist Todd Harrell--grew up in Escatawpa, Mississippi, a city of about 8, people that Harrell described laughingly to Lisa Wilton of the Calgary Sun as "a one-light, one-grocery store kind of town. Harrell told Jeremy Helligar of Teen People, "We all grew up together, man, so we're all good friends.

In a comment on the Republic Records website, Arnold stated, "I would set up pots and pans when I was little, just beat on stuff, whatever I could find.

The youngest of seven, Arnold also recalls being influenced by the variety of music that he heard through his siblings. Henderson, whose strict stepmother did not care for rock music, hid his headphones in his room, and played records when he was supposed to be sleeping. The friends were big fans of Southern bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd,.

They also idolized American heavy-metal band Metallica and liked lighter, more tuneful fare by Peter Frampton and Kansas. He told Jill Pesselnick of Billboard, "The song took maybe 15 or 20 minutes to write. Usually by the time I actually write the lyrics on a sheet down on a sheet of paper, I already have the thoughts pretty clear in my mind.

In Arnold, Roberts, and Harrell formed a trio that played its first gig at a friend's backyard party.
