In late 2010, Black Veil Brides went on tour with bands The Birthday Massacre, Dommin and Aural Vampire. Shortly after the album's release, Sandra Alvarenga was replaced by Christian "CC" Coma. The group's debut album We Stitch These Wounds was released Jand sold over 10,000 copies in its first week, ranking at No. 36 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, and No. 1 on the Billboard Independent chart.

The writing process for a tour and a record began immediately. It all tends to fit really well for a dark and heavy rock band. And the opposite of that in one's life would be at a funeral of a loved one. The happiest time in one's life, could be getting married. It also has the dichotomy of the positive and negative. Sorta similar to a rock band where you have to give up many things in pursuit of what you're passionate about or believe in. Purdy also explained the meaning of the band name "Black Veil Brides":īlack Veil Brides is a Roman Catholic term used for when a woman marries into the church and gives up all the pleasures of life to devote her life to God. Chris Hollywood and Pan the Gypsy later departed the band and were replaced by Jinxx and Jake Pitts. In early 2009, he formed a new band using the current Black Veil Brides name, with the lineup consisting of Biersack, guitarist Chris Hollywood, and drummer Sandra Alvarenga, who were soon joined by bassist Ashley Purdy and guitarist Pan the Gypsy they signed with the independent label StandBy Records.

Her father then yells at him, and goes back inside to deal with his daughter, but she escapes out the window and runs to the man's car and they drive away, then Black Veil Brides begin to play the song in front of the same movie theater that the couple went to at the beginning of the video. The man drives up, and her father slaps her face and yells at her to get inside the house. He grows furious, and has an alcoholic beverage in his hand, which implies that he is drunk. She runs back home and bangs on the door, and her father comes out. All of a sudden, the man she met jumps out and attacks them, and a fight ensues (which is the unexplained fight in the original video). She gets out, and begins walking across the park, when three unknown men confront her and try to attack her, tearing her shirt. After that, he offers to take her back home, but she insists on dropping her off at the park so her dad doesn't see him. In the director's cut version, it is revealed that the girl's name is Marilyn, and that she didn't know the man, or his name before that day, but she doesn't want to wait for her dad to pick her up, so she goes for a drive with him. The video also shows a fight, but doesn't give much explaining. The music video depicts a couple who rebel against the girl's father by sneaking out and running away. A six-minute director's cut of the video was released on iTunes on their second EP, Rebels. A majority of the music video was shot in front of the Fox Theater in Bakersfield, California. A music video for the song was released on YouTube on October 19, 2011, directed by Patrick Fogarty, who also directed the " Knives and Pens," " Perfect Weapon," " The Legacy," " Coffin", and other Black Veil Brides music videos.
