Underclass Hero has sold over 0.01 million copies worldwide

It was the first new material to be released without former guitarist [[Dave Baksh]]. The album title's similarity to [[John Lennon]]'s hit "[[Working Class Hero]]" is not a coincidence, according to the band's front man Deryck Whibley, who in an interview with Sun Media claimed Lennon as his favorite songwriter:<ref>[http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/S/Sum_41/2007/08/01/4385468-ca.html Jam! - Sum 41's "Hero" debuts at No. 1]</ref>
{{quotation|"I had to decide what I wanted to say with my music, I asked myself all these questions and then just pulled up my own answers and started writing songs based on those themes. I wanted to make an album that meant something important from beginning to end. I wanted it to have relevance and significance. It's not a concept album. It's not about fictional characters in a made-up story but there is a constant idea that runs through the record. It's a deeply personal statement that reflects the confusion and frustration in modern society."|Deryck Whibley}}

The album has spawned three singles, "[[Underclass Hero (song)|Underclass Hero]]", "[[Walking Disaster]]", and "[[With Me (song)|With Me]]". Another song called "[[March of the Dogs]]" has also been released as an album preview. The only single to chart on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] was "Underclass Hero" which peaked at number 86.<ref>http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?model.vnuArtistId=401778&model.vnuAlbumId=948088</ref>
