Swing, Swing (3:54)

Released March 18, 2003

“Swing, Swing” is a song by the All-American Rejects, released as a single from their debut album The All American Rejects in 2002. It peaked at #60 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at #8 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song was also featured on the soundtrack of 2003 Comedy film American Wedding. Swing, Swing is also briefly heard in the background of the Smallville episode “Witness”.

The music video cuts between shots of the band playing in what appears to be a trailer park and scenes that tell the story of a boy and his girlfriend as they go through several events together (such as robbing a convenience store), before eventually breaking up. This is originally thought to be because of his car overheating, but it is more likely that it was because of an argument. The story finishes with him trying to talk to her, but she avoids him and moves on.
