Swing, Swing
"Swing, Swing" is a song by American rock band the All-American Rejects, released as their debut single from their self-titled debut studio album on November 25, 2002. Background "Swing, Swing" was written by Nick Wheeler and Tyson Ritter. According to Ritter, the song was written in his grandparents' cabin in his hometown of Stillwater in Oklahoma when he came up with the chorus one weekend morning.
