I Don't Want To Go To School is the second soundtrack album by The Naked Brothers Band, it was the soundtrack for the second season of The Naked Brothers Band. The album was released as a deluxe fanpack that includes a poster, lyrics and two bonus tracks.
When the band's mockumentary television series was commissioned for a second season, the boys' mother Polly Draper asked her sons to record a new album. Initially, the siblings started to write new songs in 2007. Nat Wolff wrote the title's hit track, "I Don't Want to Go to School", after pestering his parents to stay home from school, because if he did he would write a song. Subsequently, Nat wrote the song and then he was sent to school anyway.
The band began recording their new album in mid-2007. The songs were recorded for the second season of The Naked Brothers Band television series. Recording took as short as three months, which ended in October 2007.
The album was slated for an April 2008 release, just five months after their debut album, "The Naked Brothers Band". Nat and Alex released two versions, the normal album and a fan pack edition, including two bonus tracks, a poster with lyrics and a DVD with behind the scenes. It ranked #23 on the top 200 Billboard charts for 2 weeks.[1]
The album released one single, the title track, "I Don't Want to Go to School". The single was released on April 3, 2008along with a music video, which features various clips from Season 2.
Allmusic gave the album 3½ stars, calling it a great effort after the band's debut soundtrack The Naked Brothers Band, which was released in October 2007. The titular song was covered by Casey and His Brother on the Uncle Muscles Hour variety show in 2009.
