Pop punks Simple Plan wrote "Untitled," a song about a teenager who is hit by a drunk driver, after a number of friends and acquaintances died under similar circumstances. The video takes the story a step further, exploring both the young woman's final moments and the impact that her death has on her loved ones. As the band themselves said, "When an accident happens, there are more victims than people think, and many lives are changed forever... Parents, brothers, sisters and sons and daughters, grandparents... everybody feels the impact. We wanted to tell a story with this video: the story about the innocent lives affected by drinking and driving."
Mothers Against Drunk Driving used the song in one of their campaigns.
