Slide was the first single from the 1998 album for the band and helped them achieve the superstar status. Initially, it seems to talk about a tale of young lovers fighting the world. However, Johnny Rzeznik claims that there’s more to it, and it’s about two teenagers where the girl gets pregnant, and they don’t know if they should keep the baby.
