Have you ever had a break up that wasn't "your fault?" A part of you wants to cry, but that other part wants to, you know... give the dumper hell. You "bump into" your ex at the bar, at a party, at school, at an office party, at the elderly home (whatever age bracket you're in) and you're thinking "Thank god I wore my sexy dress today- my make up is perfect and so are my shoes!... and now for the killer smile that shows how much of a mistake he made."
It's not necessarily that you'd actually WANT your ex back, but it is good to know that someone you once loved still has feelings for you in some small way.
This song is one of its kind! Though I'm not really into the whole boys grow their hair out long phase that these poor kids are going through these days (no I don't understand why boys are painting their nails and wearing skinny jeans tighter than mine!), but I can definitely feel the power in this song, its catchy rhythm and its relation to how everyone who's anyone has felt at least once in their lives.
Rock out to it, laugh at it, cry to it- it doesn't matter. It kicks [major behind]!

5.0 out of 5 stars The All-American Rejects Don't Have A Dirty Little Secret, They Just Want To Give You Hell, January 24, 2009

This review is from: Gives You Hell (MP3 Download)

Silently propelling through the muddled pop punk genre, with hits like "Swing Swing," and the breakout "Dirty Little Secret," AAR has returned, and after a little lull, they've come back to give you hell, or their girlfriend hell at least... Well, maybe it's just me, but I was totally confused about the lyrics, as he wants to give his girlfriend hell, and he's lying about something, which makes you question his motives and what he says all-together.

Confusing lyrics aside, the song is a great arena rocker in the style of Fall Out Boy, causing you to pump fists, and join in with the chorus. It's rather catchy, and although the verses are a bit lackluster, the chorus brings home the money.

Overall, I'd call it worthy of the band's catalog, and it's certainly one of their best. It seems they're going after Fall Out Boy's audience, so expect some friendly competition, or sound-alikes in the future. But for now,

Real Score: 4.5
