Zebrahead spent summer 2006 on the Warped Tour while their new album Broadcast to the World was released in Europe on July 3 through the German based record company SPV. The album which had come out in February of the same year in Japan, went gold in just over a month's time.
Due to Zebrahead's growing popularity in Japan, Matty Lewis and Zebrahead bandmate Ali Tabatabaee were asked by SEGA to record vocals for a new theme song, entitled "His World", which appears in the game Sonic The Hedgehog for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The entire band later recorded an alternate version of the song for the vocal soundtrack.
The rest of 2006 was spent touring Europe and the US as part of the Broadcast To The World Tour.
In March 2007, the band took two months off to begin writing new material for their, currently as of yet, untitled new studio album. The band later returned to Europe in May on a co-healine tour with MxPx and a headline UK tour. From June - July of the same year, Zebrahead toured America, supporting Unwritten Law with the band Bullets and Octane. On completion of the tour, Zebrahead spent more time writing material for their new album which had a planned release date of February, 2008.
Recently, after several of the active users at MFZB.com made it apparent they were in need of update from the band during this 'quiet' period, Zebrahead responded by posting a video update to YouTube which was promised as "the first of many". The video talks about the writing/recording process and has an update on Zebrahead's official fanclub.
October 2007 saw the return of Zebrahead to the UK as part of the annual Get Happy Tour where they shared the stage with Army of Freshmen, The Bloodhound Gang and Bowling For Soup. Zebrahead will be returning to Download 2008 (UK) after their first appearance in 2006. For the rest of 2007 the band continued to write songs for the new album. Demos were recorded and received input from Jason Freese of Green Day fame.
In March 2008 Zebrahead entered the studio and recorded 18 songs for their new album. The first two songs, including "Art Of Breaking Up" were recorded with Howard Benson, while the remaining 16 were recorded with Cameron Webb. Zebrahead released clips giving an insight into the making of the album the same month.
June saw Zebrahead return to the UK and Europe to headline a tour and play certain festival dates including Download, Leeds Slam Dunk Festival and Greenfield Festival. Several new songs from the upcoming album are likely to make their debut appearance in live form.
On May 17th 2008, it was revealed via the band's MySpace tagline that the upcoming album would be entitled "Phoenix". A day later, Zebrahead's fan blog, Postcards From Hell, revealed that the first single from the album would be entitled "Mental Health" and its music video was be directed by Elliot Dillman of Pandaworks.
In August 2010, Zebrahead has confirmed through video updates on their website that they have begun writing a new studio album. In the video, Ali Tabatabaee said that the band intends on entering the studio to record before the end of the year, and it has been mentioned through Twitter that the projected release date is early 2011.

NOTHING TO LOSE
Zebrahead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like everyone's living just to even the score (even the score)
And one by one, we're death to bore (death to bore)
Makes you wanna break out kick down the door
Don't ever give it up
You'll make it out alive
Live it up while dying nine to five
Rise up, rise up, rise up
From the bottom all the way to the top
Never listen when they tell you to stop
Rise up, rise up
'Cause I got nothing to lose
Got nothing to prove
I got nothing to lose
I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in, I've got no excuse
I got nothing to lose
Got nothing to prove
Got nothing to lose
I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in, I've got no excuse
I got nothing to lose
You can take your small minds and blow 'em away (blow 'em away)
Try and bring me down with the lies you say (lies you say)
Yesterday's gone, now today's the day (today's the day)
Lowlifes and hoodlums come out to play
They tell you listen up, stop talking out of line
Busting out
Well, now would be the time
Just stand up and tear it down tonight (tear it down tonight)
Rise up, rise up, rise up
From the bottom all the way to the top
Never listen when they tell you to stop
Rise up rise up
'Cause I got nothing to lose
Got nothing to prove
I got nothing to lose
I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in, I've got no excuse
I got nothing to lose
Got nothing to prove
I got nothing to lose
I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in, I've got no excuse
I got nothing to lose
On top, we're making it pop
All upside down we don't drop
With all the scars that we copped
From all the fakers who flopped
To all the battles that taught us
Through the lessons they fought us
'Cause they said we were Raucourse, but we just came to rock
(Rise up, rise up, rise up)
From the bottom all the way to the top
Don't you listen when they tell you to stop
(Rise up, rise up)
'Cause I got nothing to lose
Got nothing to prove
Got nothing to lose
I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in, I've got no excuse
I got nothing to lose
Got nothing to prove
Got nothing to lose
I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in, I've got no excuse
I got nothing to lose
(Rise up, rise up, rise up, hey, hey)
I got nothing to lose
(Rise up, rise up, rise up, hey, hey)
I got nothing to lose
I got nothing to prove
I got nothing to lose
I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in, I've got no excuse
And I've
Got nothing to lose
The song "Nothing to Lose" by Zebrahead is an anthem about the pursuit of living a life without fear and constraints. The lyrics depict a feeling of redundancy in life where everything seems like it has been done before and society is stuck in a pattern of merely evening the score. The lyrics encourage the listener to break free from this monotonous routine and live life on their terms without any reservations. The lead singer mentions how he's got nothing to lose, nothing to prove, and is not giving up or giving in to any excuses that might hold him back. The song urges the listener to rise up, chase their dreams, and march towards success, no matter how bleak their situation appears to be.
The lyrics of the song appeal to young adults and teenagers who feel trapped in the rat race and are unable to break out of the mundane cycle of life. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it a popular pick for motivational videos and workout playlists. "Nothing to Lose" embodies the spirit of rebellion and celebrates the triumph of self-belief over self-doubt.
Line by Line Meaning
I feel like it's all been done before (done before)
The world's progress has already reached its peak and no one can invent or create anything new
Like everyone's living just to even the score (even the score)
People are just living to compete with each other, instead of finding value and happiness in life
And one by one, we're death to bore (death to bore)
Each individual is becoming more and more dreary and uninteresting as they follow the generic lifestyle of society
Makes you wanna break out kick down the door
The mundane nature of life is frustrating, making one want to leave their comfort zone and explore more
Don't ever give it up
Don't give up on your dreams and aspirations
You'll make it out alive
Keep fighting and you'll eventually succeed
Live it up while dying nine to five
Enjoy the little things in life even while engaging in the monotonous grind of work
Just stand up and tear it down tonight (tear it down tonight)
Stand up to the societal norms and contextualize your own beliefs, pushing your potential and current boundaries
Rise up, rise up, rise up
Stand up and elevate yourself beyond the monotonous life
From the bottom all the way to the top
From the very beginning to the very best, make progress and keep rising
Never listen when they tell you to stop
Ignore those who discourage you from your goals
'Cause I got nothing to lose
Having nothing to lose makes one fearless to take risks and push the boundaries
Got nothing to prove
One doesn't have to prove their worth to anyone else; just have the will to fight
You can take your small minds and blow 'em away (blow 'em away)
Small minds only see limits and restrictions, but one can venture beyond these limitations and move to higher ground
Try and bring me down with the lies you say (lies you say)
People might try to discourage you with lies, but their opinions don't matter
Yesterday's gone, now today's the day (today's the day)
Forget about the past and focus on the present
Lowlifes and hoodlums come out to play
People may come around to distract from the purpose, but focus and continue moving forward
They tell you listen up, stop talking out of line
People might say to stay in line and follow laws, but there may be times when one needs to speak out
Busting out
Break free from imposed boundaries/rules
Well, now would be the time
Act now and don't waste time
On top, we're making it pop
We are succeeding and making great achievements
All upside down we don't drop
Even in chaotic situations, we don't lose our way
With all the scars that we copped
Despite facing difficulties and hardships, we have learned from those experiences
From all the fakers who flopped
People who pretended to be someone they are not but ended up failing
To all the battles that taught us
All the obstacles that we faced helped us become stronger
Through the lessons they fought us
We learned from these hurdles and overcame them
'Cause they said we were Raucourse, but we just came to rock
'Raucourse' refers to a resistance - but in this case we're doing something we think is worth fighting for
Hey, Hey
A shout of encouragement and a call to action
I got nothing to lose
The idea of losing or failure isn't stopping us

Riley Mateus
I really like the almost solemn way the song ends. I really adds to the quality and the feeling of the song.
Jeremy Woodall
I still think Demon Days is the second best song on the album (Nudist Priest), and I'd love to see a live video for it, but this one is great too. Actually, all of Get Nice! is amazing. Man, will you guys ever make a bad song?
