PAPA ROACH To Release 'Scars' As Next Single

October 13, 2004

PAPA ROACH have selected the power ballad "Scars" as the second single from their fourth album, "Getting Away With Murder".

"Some of our fans hear that song and say, 'I had to give it a few listens, dude. But I love it,' " frontman Jacoby Shaddix told MTV.com. "It's a P-ROACH anthem. It has heart. It's just undeniable. It stems from a good night in Vegas turned bad. I ended up in the hospital with 11 staples in my head, self-mutilation. It was just a really bad night. It's about trying to help someone who really doesn't want you to help them.

"Through music, I'm always trying to make sense of the confusion in my life," he continued. "Whatever life throws at you, music is there for me, through the hard times and the good times. It's been something for me to confide in, because when you get right down to it, I'm not really good at confiding in people."
