But after hearing Wannabe, which for some reason was released as a promotional single with frickin' Snoop Dogg of all people, I completely understand why people don't like Aaron Lewis. ![]() I thought the album as a whole was okay for the most part. That song title accurately describes my thoughts on having to do another Staind track. #79 on the 2012 Hot Rock & Alternative Songs Year-End #26 on the 2011 Hot Rock & Alternative Songs Year-End #47 on the 2011 Alternative Songs Year-End #72 on the Greatest of All Time Mainstream Rock Songs #45 on the 2012 Mainstream Rock Tracks Year-End #11 on the 2011 Mainstream Rock Tracks Year-End Issued Novem#2 previous week - 3 weeks at #1 Issued Octo#2 previous week - 4 weeks at #1 Written by Aaron Lewis, Johnny April, Mike Mushok, and Jon Wysocki But unlike other songs with the same premise like Sir Elton John's The Bitch Is Back, Lowlife is not fun enough to be endearing.
