"Why, Pt. 2" is the first single from released on October 2000 to promote Blender. Written by singer/guitarist Ed Roland, the song did not chart on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, but did reach No. 2 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The "Pt. 2" in the title refers to an earlier track by the band, "Why", which was initially created during the band's Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid era, and was used as a b-side to the single "Breathe" in 1994.
The second single, "Vent", was released in 2000. It was originally titled "Prick", but was changed to "Vent" due to concern from the band's record label, Atlantic Records. The song is supposedly about the band's tension with the label. The band left the label in 2001, and created their own independent label, El Music Group.[citation needed]
