Dirty Little Secret (3:14)

Released September 12, 2005.

“Dirty Little Secret” is the first single by the power pop band The All-American Rejects taken from their second studio album Move Along. Released in late 2005, the song was the band’s most successful single at the time, reaching #9 for three weeks on Billboard magazine’s Billboard Hot 100 chart in January 2006. Their song “It Ends Tonight” has since surpassed that peak, charting at #8 later in 2006, along with their first single “Gives You Hell” from their third album, surpassing it at #4.

The music video of the song was filmed at Dorney Park and other locations in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The video is based on the PostSecret project, where people share their secrets on postcards. These cards are sent anonymously to the project, and some are posted on the PostSecret website. The video shows a montage of people holding up PostSecret postcards, which reveal a range of fears, embarrassment, love, deception, sadness, wishes and secret actions.
