It was announced in a band newsletter on July 2, 1999, that drummer Lance Morrill decided to quit the band to focus on the family life after recently getting married. Longtime friend Gary Wiseman would be welcomed as the bands new drummer and would soon get to work recording a new album.
On January 12, 2000, the band made it known that they have been in the recording studio and that they have signed to Jive Records. The title was first mentioned as "Let's Do It For Jonnie" but Jonnie was later changed to Johnny for unknown reasons. The title takes its name from the 1983 Francis Ford Coppola film The Outsiders.
Tracks such as "Belgium", "Scope", and "The Bitch Song" from previous albums were remixed by Matt Wallace, who had previously worked with Everlast and Faith No More.
Additionally, the band recorded a song "Greatest Day" for a Tiger Woods video game, which was later featured on the following albums Drunk Enough to Dance and Bowling for Soup Goes to the Movies.
