5. “Still Waiting”

Sum 41’s second studio album proved that the band was just ramping up their career. “Still Waiting” fuses the heaviness of the band’s sound with their signature adrenaline-charged pop-punk.

4. “We’re All To Blame”

“We’re All To Blame” is one of Sum 41’s best headbangers, and it lands as a brilliant metal number that calls out corporate greed. Sum 41’s heavier stuff is just as fun as their pop-punk fare.

3. “With Me”

Sum 41’s “With Me” is a standout of the band’s catalog but it’s not a pop-punk track or a metal-tinged number; instead, it’s more of an introspective power ballad that is a relatable, desperate plea to repair a relationship.

2. “In Too Deep”

“In Too Deep” remains a pop-punk odyssey and a pivotal part of Sum 41’s history as a band. The song, which details being consumed by a relationship, remains an energetic number and fan-favorite.

1. “Over My Head (Better Off Dead)”

According to fans, the No. 1 best Sum 41 song  is the band’s 2002 single “Over My Head (Better Off Dead).” The Does This Look Infected? single meditates on the regret and aftermath following a bender.
