"Would?" was originally written by AIC guitarist Jerry Cantrell following the death of his friend Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone from a heroin overdose.  It would later appear on the band's second studio album "Dirt" also released in 1992 and go on to be one of the band's most signature songs.

​"Breath" is a song that originated as an instrumental demo called "Doobie E" written in 1990 by Stone Gossard. The re-recorded version featured on the soundtrack features lyrics written by Eddie Vedder and was one of the first songs to be recorded with drummer Dave  Abbruzzese.

Cornell’s moving acoustic solo contribution to the Singles soundtrack grew out of a piece of fiction: a solo cassette made by Matt Dillon’s Cliff Poncier character and Citizen Dick band member. Cornell took it upon himself to actually write songs for the tape, including this reflective ballad.
