Unreleased Track
The recording process of One-X led to one extra song being recorded but not released. The name of the song is unknown. Three Days Grace played it live once, in the summer of 2005. Fans think the name is either "Messenger", "Mess of Me", or "Meant to Be". "Mess of Me" is most likely to be correct, because in the chorus, the words "mess of me" were used. Adam said the band wants to put the song on the upcoming third album.
Singles
The first single from the album was "Animal I Have Become". The song "Pain" was released as a single in September 2006, and "Never Too Late" was released as a single in March 2007.
"Animal I Have Become" was the most-played rock song of 2006 in Canada. Three of the four singles have reached #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.
Before the Official Release
Before One-X was released the band previewed some numbers from the upcoming album on several occasions. They played four of the new songs, including "Animal I Have Become" and "Never Too Late", at the H.O.P.E. Volleyball SummerFest in Ottawa in July 2005. "Animal I Have Become" was released as a single and received substantial airplay before it was released with One-X.
Previews for four of the tracks on One-X can be found on Three Days Grace's Online Trading Cards. Tracks that can be previewed are "It's All Over", "Pain", "Never Too Late" and "Over And Over"[1].
On June 3 2006, the album was leaked on peer-to-peer and BitTorrent sites worldwide.
One-X does not have a Parental Advisory despite brief language in the songs "Riot" and "Gone Forever."
