Singles is a compilation album of previously unreleased songs and B-sides by Jimmy Eat World. After being planned for release in July 2000,[2] it was eventually released on August 8, 2000.[3] After leaving Capitol Records, the compilation was released as a means of self-funding the recording sessions for their next album Bleed American.

All songs written by Jimmy Eat World except Track 5 written by The Wedding Present. The band also intended to include their cover of Duran Duran's song "New Religion",[5] which originally appeared on a tribute album, but were denied permission by the record label that originally released it. Jim Adkins' liner notes refer to "Opener" being the same recording from the 7-inch single w/ 77 Satellites, however the track used on this compilation is a demo recording with some differences to the lyrics.
