In 2002, Simple Plan released their debut studio album, No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls , which featured the singles ” I’m Just a Kid “, ” I’d Do Anything “, ” Addicted “, and ” Perfect “. The band was aiming for a pure pop-punk record. The record was originally released in the United States with 12 tracks, ending with “Perfect”. Enhanced and foreign editions came in several different versions with up to two additional tracks in addition to the original 12. Two pop punk singers contributed on vocals: Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 on “I’d Do Anything” and included vocals by Joel Madden from Good Charlotte on “You Don’t Mean Anything.” The years of 2002 and 2003 were formative for the band. MTV Networks featured “Addicted” on one of their top performing shows during the spring of 2003 in the United States and internationally; on MTV and MTVu, and was filmed at the University at Buffalo (SUNY Buffalo) in Western New York. Addicted was the theme song for Fraternity Life . While the show was taken off the air the following season the band continued to rise on the billboard charts in the United States and performances continued to be booked and reruns of the show played around the world.
