An early version of "I'm Broke" was recorded for ''[[Three Dollar Bill, Yall$]]'', but was left off the album because of how different the song sounded from the rest of that album's material.<ref name="Devenish79" /> The melody for "Trust?" originated from a melody played in rough form in early 1998, during the Ladies Night in Cambodia tour.<ref name="Devenish79" /> In response to claims that the lyrics of ''Three Dollar Bill, Yall$'' were misogynistic, Durst toned down his lyrical content on this album, which he described as being more lyrically mature.<ref name="Devenish79" /> [[Fred Durst]]'s breakup with his girlfriend inspired the songs "[[Nookie (Limp Bizkit song)|Nookie]]" and "[[Re-Arranged]]".<ref name="Devenish79">{{cite book |last1=Devenish |first1=Colin |title=Limp Bizkit |year=2000 |publisher=St. Martin's |isbn=0-312-26349-X |pages=[https://archive.org/details/limpbizkit0000deve/page/79 79–94] |url=https://archive.org/details/limpbizkit0000deve/page/79 }}</ref>
The band allowed Durst and [[DJ Lethal]] to explore their hip hop influences by recording with Method Man. [[DJ Premier]] of [[Gang Starr]] was brought in to produce the collaboration. The band wanted to record "a track that was straight hip-hop", according to Borland.<ref name=Devenish95/> The song was originally titled "Shut the Fuck Up", but was retitled "[[N 2 Gether Now]]" for marketing purposes.<ref name=Devenish95/> Durst also recorded a song with [[Eminem]], "Turn Me Loose", which was left off the album.<ref name=Devenish95/> Durst also recorded a song with [[System of a Down]]'s vocalist [[Serj Tankian]] named "Don't Go Off Wandering". Serj's vocals only appeared on the demo version of the song where he sang the bridge and ending chorus but his vocals don't appear on the album version of the song. The band also collaborated with Korn vocalist [[Jonathan Davis]] and [[Scott Weiland]] of [[Stone Temple Pilots]] on "Nobody Like You". Weiland would frequently visit NRG studios and help with the recording, vocally coaching Durst.<ref name=Devenish95/> [[Staind]] singer Aaron Lewis provided backup vocals on the song "No Sex", while [[Scott Borland]], Wes' brother, played keyboards on "Just Like This", "Nookie", "Re-Arranged", "I'm Broke", "9 Teen 90 Nine" and "A Lesson Learned".<ref name=Devenish95/> The song "Show Me What You Got" is a sequel to "Indigo Flow" from ''Three Dollar Bill, Yall$''. "A Lesson Learned" is a psychedelic [[trip hop]] track similar to "Everything" from ''Three Dollar Bill, Yall$''.
