"Homecoming Queen" is confirmed as the fifth and last single from the triple-platinum album, Extreme Behavior. The song is about a girl who was popular and beautiful, with a great future, but because of all the pressure and expectations put on her by her peers she turned to a life of drugs. The song is currently at number 16 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Chart, and has debuted at #100 on the Canadian Hot 100, but had fallen off the week after. On the week of October 20, it re-entered the chart at #100, the same as it debuted and peaked at.

The song bears a strong resemblance to "Sweet Child o' Mine" by Guns N' Roses. The riff is currently under examination for copyright infringement.

It is confirmed that there will be no music video for this song.[citation needed]
