The band existed for almost a decade before mainstream success. The members met and played in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School under the name Pezz and remained underground in Toronto's indie music scene until 2001. The band renamed itself Billy Talent after running into legal trouble with the old name. It was then that Kowalewicz's connection with an employee of Warner Music Canada's A&R department landed the band a record deal and launched them into mainstream success. Since then, Billy Talent has made three multi-platinum records in Canada and continues to expand their success overseas; this included touring for 20 months supporting their second album. They released their third album, Billy Talent III, in 2009, and their fourth album, Dead Silence, in 2012. Dead Silence was followed up by a full UK tour throughout October and November 2012. To commemorate the longevity since the release of their first studio album, the band has released a greatest hits album entitled Hits in 2014. In 2015, they began to prepare material for their fifth studio album. Just before entering the studio, drummer Aaron Solowoniuk decided to sit out the recording sessions while he continued his longstanding battle with multiple sclerosis. Fellow Canadian Jordan Hastings was quickly recruited to play as Solowoniuk's studio stand-in, and, in early 2016, the group completed work on Afraid of Heights, which was released in July of that year. The band's most recent album is Crisis of Faith, released in January 2022.

Billy Talent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You spurn my natural emotions.
you make me feel like dirt, and it hurts.
And if I start a commotion,
I run the risk of losing you and that's worse.
Ever fallen in love with somoene
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone you shouldn't've fallen in love with?
I can't see much of a future
Unless we find out what's to blame, what a shame.
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same.
Ever fallen in love with somoene
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone you shouldn't've fallen in love with?
You discern my natural emotions
you make me feel like dirt, and it hurts.
And if I start a commotion,
I'll only end up losin' you and that's worse.
Ever fallen in love with somoene
Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone you shouldn't've fallen in love with?
The song "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)" by the Buzzcocks, covered by Billy Talent, is a song about the confusion and pain of falling for someone who is not right for you. The singer feels spurned by the object of their affection and is torn between wanting to express their emotions and the fear of losing the person altogether. The lyrics paint a picture of a troubled relationship with the singer feeling like they are being made to feel like dirt.
The second half of the song delves into the realization that their relationship has no future unless they can establish the root of their problems. The realization that they are both at fault is the only way to save their relationship. However, the song implies that the relationship may be doomed to fail due to the toxicity of their dynamic.
Overall, "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)" captures the confusion and pain of unrequited love and ill-fated relationships. It is a powerful song about heartbreak and the risks we take when we open ourselves up to another person.
