In a TikTok video uploaded earlier this week, King divulged a few facts about the making of the group's smash hit song, "Over My Head (Cable Car), which came out in 2005—but it called into question some information that fans already thought they knew.
In King's video—which appeared to be his take on a recent TikTok trend of sending a message to one's younger self—he wrote, "when you're 22 you'll start a band and become a dad. everyone will say you're in over your head. it's very important that you write a song about it."
Slade, who left the group in 2022, was previously believed to have been inspired for the song by his relationship with his brother Caleb, whose nickname was "Cable Car," according to Wikipedia.

But in an attempt to put the argument to rest, many users pointed out that both King and Slade are credited as songwriters on the track.
