] Allen and Linda Perry contributed to the writing of the album's lead single "Save Me (Wake Up Call)," which reached #5 on US modern rock charts. Overall the album reached #51 on the Billboard 200, becoming the highest-ranking album of the band's career.

When the band began to record the album they were without a drummer (founding drummer Wade Youman had been expelled from the band in 2003). They were joined in the studio by Adrian Young of No Doubt and Tony Palermo of Pulley who filled in on drums for the recording. The band got along so well with Palermo that by the time of the album's release he had joined as their permanent drummer. "Here's to the Mourning" was also the band's last album with original guitarist Rob Brewer, who was ejected from the group in March 2005, a month after the album's release.

Several songs from the album appeared in soundtracks to video games released that same year. "Celebration Song" was used in ' and "MX vs. ATV Unleashed", "F.I.G.H.T." was used in "Burnout Revenge" and '. "Get Up" was preloaded onto Xbox 360 premium pack hard drives and was also used in the trailer for "Indigo Prophecy".

The album contains a "hidden track" entitled "Machine," which appears on track 12 following "Walrus."
