Under Your Skin is Saliva's seventh studio album and the final album to feature singer Josey Scott, who left the band in 2012. It was released on March 22, 2011.[4] Prior to release, the album had been titled both Take That Society and Skin Deep.

History

In September 2009, Scott said the album was "coming along nicely". So far, he had written about nine songs and the rest of the band - which at the time of the interview included guitarist Wayne Swinny, bassist Dave Novotny, drummer Paul Crosby, and guitarist Jonathan Montoya – had been writing material as well.[5]

On August 30, 2010 the band announced Montoya's exit from the band and their plans to continue as a four-piece. On the same day they also announced they were in the studio working with Howard Benson as a producer,[4] instead of Bob Marlette.

On January 12, 2011 Tunelab reported that the title of the upcoming Saliva album has changed again, from Skin Deep to Under Your Skin. The album was released on March 22, 2011. The first single from the album, "Nothing",[4] impacted radio on January 25 and was released for digital download on February 1.[6]

"Badass" became the album's second single. It was released on March 8, 2011.[7] It went on to enjoy more success than the album's first single, "Nothing," by peaking at #26 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks.[8] "Badass" was also featured in the film Saw 3D.[9]

"Under Your Skin" was released on March 22, 2011. It debuted at #86 in the U.S. Billboard 200,[10] higher than Saliva's previous studio album, "Cinco Diablo," which peaked at #104 on the same chart.
