Ego Trip was produced by a team including Colin Brittain, Jason Evigan, Nicholas Furlong, Andrew Goldstein, and Drew Fulk alongside Papa Roach themselves; Jacoby Shaddix co-wrote all fourteen tracks with the respective producers. The album revisits the nu metal and rap-metal sounds of Infest alongside newer pop-punk and hard rock influences. Kill the Noise reached number one on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart; Swerve features Fever 333 and Sueco as guest vocalists.
Ego Trip is the ninth studio album by Papa Roach, released in April 2022 on New Noize Records and produced by Jason Evigan, Nicholas Furlong, and others, the band's most broadly stylistically diverse album, featuring contributions from producers working across metal, pop, and electronic genres simultaneously and addressing the COVID-19 pandemic experience and personal identity through Shaddix's lyrical framework. Shaddix wrote all lyrics; 'Kill the Noise,' 'Swerve,' 'Stand Up,' and 'Dying to Believe' are among the principal tracks, with the production range spanning from straightforward hard rock to pop-adjacent electronic production across the album's 15 tracks. Ego Trip debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 with 27,000 first-week units and received the most positive critical response of the band's second decade. The album is the most recent statement in a catalog that has evolved continuously from the nu-metal breakthrough of Infest through multiple genre explorations across two decades. Ego Trip is the most recent evidence of the band's extraordinary creative longevity, a group that emerged from the late-1990s nu-metal wave and survived the genre's commercial collapse through continuous stylistic evolution, and whose ability to generate top-five Billboard 200 debuts across nearly three decades confirms one of the more resilient commercial careers in modern rock history.
