In October of the same year, the band requested fans via their MySpace page to record audio clips of themselves shouting the word "Yeah!" to be used in a track on the album.{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/does-it-offend-you-yeah/47744 |title=Does It Offend You, Yeah? ask fans to appear on new album|work=Nme|date=9 October 2009 |accessdate=2011-08-09}} On 27 April, Does It Offend You, Yeah? told fans via a MySpace blog that they were to release a track called "The News at 10" for a limited time to celebrate reaching ten million plays on the social networking site.{{cite web|url=https://www.myspace.com/doesitoffendyou/blog/485746207 |title=nearly ten million myspace plays. time for a gift. van Does It Offend You, Yeah? op Myspace |publisher=Myspace.com |date=27 April 2009 |accessdate=2011-08-09}} After the initial release, the song was modified and became the new song "Yeah!" that appears on the album.
