Background

"Outside" was originally performed live during the Family Values Tour in Biloxi, Mississippi, with Aaron Lewis (vocals and guitar) on the stage by himself and Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst providing backing vocals.

Lewis was asked to perform a song solo and he decided at the last moment to play a song he had been working on and practicing with an acoustic side project known as J-CAT since the early days of Staind.^[4] He finished the lyrics to "Outside" on the spot while singing the song live.

"It's really an accidental phenomenon," Lewis explains. "I've been playing it for quite some time. In the early days of the band, any money we made went back into the band, so two or three times a week I played acoustically to make money to live off.

'Outside' was one of the songs I play
