"The Good Left Undone" is the third single from Rise Against's fourth full-length album, The Sufferer & the Witness. The song impacted radio on May 22, 2007.[1] In June 2007, the band announced they would be holding a contest to determine who could make the best video for the song. They released a bulletin over their Myspace account giving information about the contest.

On June 25, 2007, the band premiered their own video on MTV's website, as well as on MTV2 every hour.

The song peaked at number six on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, Rise Against's second top 10 single (the first being the previous single "Prayer of the Refugee") and the highest-charting single from the album. The song spent 30 weeks on the chart prior to this peak, making it the band's slowest climb to the chart's top 10.[2]
