What We're All About

"What We're All About" (titled "It's What We're All About" on the single cover) is a song by Canadian rock band Sum 41. It was released in April 2002 as a single for the soundtrack to the film Spider-Man.

Background
This is a reworked version of "Dave's Possessed Hair/ What We're all About" from the band's first EP, Half Hour of Power. Part of the first verse is rapped in an acappella version in the beginning of the "Fat Lip" music video. Similar to "Fat Lip", vocal duties in "What We're All About" are split evenly between rhythm guitarist Deryck Whibley, drummer Stevo Jocz, and lead guitarist Dave Brownsound. The song segues into the 55-second instrumental track, "Ride the Chariot to the Devil", on the EP version of the song.

Music video
The music video for "What We're All About" was directed by Marc Klasfeld and premiered in mid-2002. It features the Sum 41 band members playing upside-down with their instruments chained to the roof as they perform on the rooftop to the audience below. Throughout the video, various clips of the Spider-Man movie play, and in the middle of the performance, Kerry King of rock band Slayer makes a cameo appearance, performing his guitar solo in the song.
