Following the release of their self-titled debut album (2000), the band met producer Eric Valentine and engaged him for their next album. Valentine often mediated between the band members, who would bicker during pre-production. Recording of The Young and the Hopeless took place at Barefoot Studios in Los Angeles, California, between February 1 and May 1, 2002.
