And then I just transferred it to the guitar." Speaking about the making of and inspiration behind the song, Esperance said:

{{quote|Well, of course at the time we were listening to a lot of Wu Tang Clan, a lot of hip-hop, and a lot of Fugees and a lot of East Coast hip-hop, and we were sampling classical music behind simple pocket grooves. I was playing something on piano and Jacoby came in and started scatting over it. And we just did our typical mixing of a funky kind of hip-hop groove with a punk rock chorus. And that song just came together like that. Jacoby said, "That's a cool riff, keep playing that noodle" – we called it a noodle. We did it over and over again, and Jacoby put his lyrics to it, and the song just morphed into what it is now. No one ever thought it was going to be a huge, huge hit, but I guess you never expect anything, really, when you're first starting out.}}

= Lyrics =

"Last Resort" is about suicide. In an interview with Songfacts, Papa Roach member Tobin Esperance spoke about the song and its lyrics, saying: {{quote|I think the lyrics had a lot to do with it. Because originally the song was about a friend of ours that we grew up with, and he was going through a rough time in his life. And there was that suicide element to it, just like growing up and the struggles of life and questioning whether or not you want to keep going on, and I think a lot of people connected with that. For the kids who had also gone through those kinds of feelings, those kinds of emotions, the lyrics really helped connect with that song.{{cite web|url=http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/tobin_esperance_of_papa_roach/|title=TOBIN ESPERANCE OF PAPA ROACH|publisher=Songfacts|accessdate=April 8, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170701094358/http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/tobin_esperance_of_papa_roach/|archive-date=July 1, 2017|url-status=live}}}} Papa Roach vocalist Jacoby Shaddix described the song as a "cry for help". He also said "That song was about one of my best friends, and then 12–13 years later, that song was about me. I found myself in that place, where I was like, 'I can't go on this way. I can't do it anymore.{{'"}}{{cite web|url=http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/jacoby_shaddix_of_papa_roach/|title=Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach|publisher=Songfacts|accessdate=April 8, 2018|archive-url=https://archive.today/20171207121006/http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/jacoby_shaddix_of_papa_roach/|archive-date=December 7, 2017|url-status=live}} Shaddix said that "Last Resort" is about a roommate he had who tried to commit suicide. Shaddix then said: "We caught him and took him to the hospital and he went into a mental facility and then he came out the other side better. He actually found God through the process, which was kind of crazy. So he's on a whole different path of his life now, which is cool. I'm really proud of him for the changes he's made in his life."{{cite news|url=http://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Papa-Roach-Forever-evolving-rockers-235695.php|title=Papa Roach: Forever-evolving rockers|work=The News-Times|author=Friedman, David|date=February 22, 2007|accessdate=April 8, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612143804/https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Papa-Roach-Forever-evolving-rockers-235695.php|archive-date=June 12, 2018|url-status=live}}
