[edit] Music Video

The music video for "Tear You Apart" was directed by Joaquin Phoenix. It was filmed in a middle school in Hollywood. The dance was held in a gym. The band's HQ was in the ballet studio of the school.

The scene where Lydia runs out is fake -- she does not run into a hallway but instead, at the time of production, she ran into an alley.

A note was sent out via MySpace asking for extras. Only a small amount of them were actually highschoolers; the call was for people who were either 15-20 or looked like they were 15-20. No one was paid, and filming was done around 3am the following day.

[edit] Appearance in Films

The song was used in The Number 23, a psychological suspense film directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Jim Carrey and Virginia Madsen. It's set to a scene featuring the characters portrayed by Carrey and Madsen engaging in S&M-style intercourse after meeting near a fiery vehicle.

[edit] Trivia

In the music video, Justin and Adam are mentioned as "missing". These are the names of the writers and lead band members.
On The Late Show with David Letterman, the chorus lyrics changed from "I want to fucking tear you apart" to "I'd Really love to tear you apart", along with other TV appearances.
