Greatest Hits is the only compilation album by The Offspring. It was released on June 20, 2005 (see 2005 in music) internationally and a day later in the United States and Canada. It includes hit singles from Smash to Splinter, except for the first track "Can't Repeat", which was previously unreleased. It also features a hidden track, "Next to You", which is a cover of a song by The Police. The song appears at the end of the final track. Can't Repeat was the Offspring's first song to feature Atom Willard on drums, but interestingly, the album liner notes states that the drummer on "Can't Repeat" was Josh Freese, the studio drummer used for the album Splinter.
