Sum 41 released their debut album, All Killer No Filler, in 2001 and achieved mainstream success through the album's first single, "Fat Lip", which reached number-one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart; it remains the band's most successful single to date. As of February 2017, they have since released five more studio albums: Does This Look Infected? (2002), Chuck (2004), Underclass Hero (2007), Screaming Bloody Murder (2011) and 13 Voices (2016).
The band was formed by singer-songwriter Deryck Whibley and drummer Steve Jocz, after Whibley convinced Jocz to join his band. Jocz was a drummer in another band and Whibley was convinced that "he was the best drummer around". The duo then added Dave Baksh as lead guitarist a year later and after going through several bassists, ended up picking Jason McCaslin to complete their lineup.
On May 10, 2006, Dave Baksh announced in a statement through his management company that he was leaving Sum 41 to work with his new band, Brown Brigade, which has a more "classic metal" sound. Baksh cited "creative differences" as the reason for his departure but claimed that he was still on good terms with the band. On March 9, 2010, Steve Jocz confirmed that new lead guitarist Tom Thacker will take part in the writing and recording.
On April 18, 2013, drummer Steve Jocz announced he would be leaving the band via his official Facebook page, leaving Whibley as the sole founding member of the band. Their follow up album will be the band's second collaboration as a trio and first with Whibley and McCaslin as the only two bandmates from their original release left.
In 2015 Frank Zummo became the drummer of the band replacing Jocz after his departure in 2013. On July 9, 2015, the band launched a PledgeMusic campaign for its comeback album. On July 23, 2015, the band played its comeback show at the Alternative Press Awards, which featured former lead guitarist Dave Baksh, joining the band on stage 9 years after officially leaving the band. The band's set also featured DMC as guest. Since the performance, rumors speculated that Dave had returned to the band rather than being just a guest. On August 14, 2015, Sum 41 announced through Alternative Press that Baksh had made his official return to the group, and will appear on the group's sixth album. On December 26, 2015, Sum 41 teased two new songs on Instagram's account. On January 1, 2016, Deryck Whibley published on the Facebook page that the new album is almost finished.
The band is set to perform on the 2016 Warped Tour. On May 11, 2016, the group announced its signing to Hopeless Records. On June 1, 2016, the band announced that an album was set to be released in the fall of 2016. On June 6, 2016, the group announced that the album would be titled '13 Voices and that it is scheduled for release on October 7, 2016. The first song off of the upcoming album, "Fake My Own Death", was released on June 28, 2016 through Hopeless Records' official YouTube channel, along with a music video for the song. The song was performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on October 3, 2016. The album's first official single, "War", was released on August 25, 2016.[61] On September 28, 2016, the album's eighth track, "God Save Us All (Death to POP)" was leaked online, before being officially released (along with a live music video) on September 29, 2016.
Their seventh studio album, Order in Decline, was released July 19, 2019. The second single from the album "A Death in the Family" was released along with a music video on June 11. On June 18, "Never There" was released as the third single, along with a video. On July 8, the band released "45 (A Matter of Time)" as the fourth single, along with a video. On May 28, 2021, the band released a version of "Catching Fire" featuring Nothing, Nowhere, along with a music video.
On February 22, 2022, the band announced a U.S. tour with Simple Plan called the Blame Canada tour. The tour is set to run from April to August 2022. On March 23, 2022, the band announced their eighth studio album, 'Heaven and Hell', which is set to be a double album. 'Heaven' will be a pop punk album much like the band's early material while 'Hell' is a continuation of the band's more recent heavier metal sound.

Sum 41 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause you don't wanna try
And I don't want the pain
There's nothing left to do, yeah
I don't want the lies
And you don't feel the same
And bow out of the game
And maybe we will find
The answers through the blame
It's time for me to go
It's time for me to go, oh
The lyrics to Sum 41's "Exit Song" convey a feeling of resignation and acceptance in a romantic relationship that has run its course. The singer seems to have exhausted all options and sees no way of salvaging the relationship. The opening line "There's nothing left to say" sets the tone for the lyric's introspective mood. The line's use of "yeah" subtly conveys a defeated tone in the singer's voice. From the lyrics, it's evident that the singer wants to make things work, but the other party is unwilling to try, which is why the line "Cause you don't want to try" is significant. The use of the word "pain" in the next line seems to suggest that the singer has been trying to hold onto the relationship, even though it's been causing them emotional pain.
The second verse of the lyrics continues in a similar vein, with the singer recognizing that the relationship is doomed. They do not "want the lies," perhaps referencing the dishonesty that has crept into the relationship, making it impossible to maintain. Additionally, the line "And you don't feel the same" expresses the deep-seated divide between the two parties in the relationship. Both the singer and the other party have fundamentally different views on the relationship, and without any common ground, it has become impossible to sustain it.
The final lines of the lyrics, "It's time for me to go/It's time for me to go, oh" reveal the singer's decision to let go of the relationship. The use of the word "maybe" in the previous verse suggests some form of hope that ending things might help them find answers. The line "And bow out of the game" adds a sense of finality to the lyrics, and it seems like the singer has accepted that this chapter in their life has come to an end.
