Under Your Skin is the seventh studio album by American rock band Saliva, released on March 22, 2011.[1] It is the final album to feature singer Josey Scott, who left the band in 2012. It is also their last album to be released on Island Records. Prior to release, the album had been titled both Take That Society and Skin Deep.

History

In September 2009, Scott said the album was "coming along nicely". So far, he had written about nine songs and the rest of the band - which at the time of the interview included guitarist Wayne Swinny, bassist Dave Novotny, drummer Paul Crosby, and guitarist Jonathan Montoya – had been writing material as well.[2]

On January 12, 2011 Tunelab reported that the title of the upcoming Saliva album has changed again, from Skin Deep to Under Your Skin. The album was released on March 22, 2011. The first single from the album, "Nothing",[1] impacted radio on January 25 and was released for digital download on February 1.[3]

"Badass" became the album's second single. It was released on March 8, 2011.[4] It went on to enjoy more success than the album's first single, "Nothing," by peaking at No. 26 on Billboards Mainstream Rock Tracks.[5] "Badass" was also featured in the film Saw 3D.[6]

"Under Your Skin" was released on March 22, 2011. It debuted at No. 86 in the U.S. Billboard 200,[7] higher than Saliva's previous studio album, "Cinco Diablo", which peaked at No. 104 on the same chart.
