It is the eighth (or seventh, on cassette) track from their third studio album Smash (1994) and was released as the second single from the album. The song was a worldwide hit, reaching No.1 in Latvia, Norway, and Sweden and was one of the most successful singles released by the band. However, frontman Dexter Holland mentioned in the Complete Music Video Collection that this song has not been very popular in Japan. "Self Esteem" was nominated for the 1995 MTV Europe Music Awards for Best Song, but lost to The Cranberries' "Zombie". The song also appears as the third track on their Greatest Hits (2005). Music video The music video for the song was directed by Darren Lavett (who directed the previous video "Come Out and Play") and was shot in August 1994 after the Offspring had just gone both gold and platinum with Smash. In the music video, several people are doing things like stunts, with flashes with the band playing on stage. In the video, Dexter wears three different band t-shirts. In the beginning, he was wearing a Sex Pistols t-shirt. Later he wears a t-shirt of The Germs, and then a Vandals t-shirt when he briefly appears as a human skeleton. In an interview on The Offspring's Greatest Hits DVD, Noodles claimed that he gave his Fender Stratocaster (which he played in the video) to one of the actors who appeared in the video. "Self Esteem" remains one of the Offspring's popular videos. It was extremely successful on MTV, and helped launch the song to success on mainstream radio. DVD appearances The music video also appears on the Complete Music Video Collection DVD. It was released in 2005.
