Yup, surprisingly there is a pop mix of this hard rock song. I guess it would make sense since it was re-released to pop stations in June 2008. The differences between this and the album version are that the intro is extended, the guitars are toned down and the vocals are pumped up. All rights reserved to the owner of this song.

The song Last Resort is about suicide. In an interview with Songfacts, Papa Roach member Tobin Esperance spoke about the song and its lyrics, saying:
I think the lyrics had a lot to do with it. Because originally the song was about a friend of ours that we grew up with, and he was going through a rough time in his life. And there was that suicide element to it, just like growing up and the struggles of life and questioning whether or not you want to keep going on, and I think a lot of people connected with that. For the kids who had also gone through those kinds of feelings, those kinds of emotions, the lyrics really helped connect with that song.
Papa Roach vocalist Jacoby Shaddix described the song as a cry for help. He also said That song was about one of my best friends, and then 12–13 years later, that song was about me. I found myself in that place, where I was like, I cant go on this way. I cant do it anymore. Shaddix said that Last Resort is about a roommate he had who tried to commit suicide. Shaddix then said: We caught him and took him to the hospital and he went into a mental facility and then he came out the other side better. He actually found God through the process, which was kind of crazy. So hes on a whole different path of his life now, which is cool. Im really proud of him for the changes hes made in his life.[8] Last Resort is influenced by hip hop music. Both The Fugees and Wu-Tang Clan influenced the song. Although the song doesnt feature piano, the song was composed with piano. Papa Roach member Tobin Esperance said: Ive written songs on piano – actually, Last Resort with that whole little riff/melody thing, thats done on the piano. And then I just transferred it to the guitar. Speaking about the making of and inspiration behind the song, Esperance said:
Well, of course at the time we were listening to a lot of Wu Tang Clan, a lot of hip-hop, and a lot of Fugees and a lot of East Coast hip-hop, and we were sampling classical music behind simple pocket grooves. I was playing something on piano and Jacoby came in and started scatting over it. And we just did our typical mixing of a funky kind of hip-hop groove with a punk rock chorus. And that song just came together like that. Jacoby said, Thats a cool riff, keep playing that noodle – we called it a noodle. We did it over and over again, and Jacoby put his lyrics to it, and the song just morphed into what it is now. No one ever thought it was going to be a huge, huge hit, but I guess you never expect anything, really, when youre first starting out.
Last Resort achieved mainstream success, peaking at number 1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in August 2000, number 56 on the Radio Songs chart in September 2000, and number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 2000. The popularity of Last Resort helped Papa Roachs album Infest get certified 3x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in July 2001.
