3 Doors Down plans to hit the studio soon to record what's shaping up to be an upbeat, positive album. The group recently got off a long tour and has been taking a break before getting together to write and record some new tracks. In a recent interview, frontman Brad Arnold, he dished about what the upcoming album might sound like: "In my head right now I want to hear a lot of songs that are upbeat and fun and catchy. I really want to focus on the upbeat thing because a lot of times we can get a little heavy with it sometimes. And no instrumental heavy but in the meanings of songs and the thought process going to it. I'm about light-hearted ideas that make people feel good."

The most recent 3 Doors Down came out in 2008, featuring the songs "Let Me Be Myself," "Citizen Soldier" and "It's Not My Time."

Arnold recently got married.

3 Doors Down has tapped Aaron Lewis of Staind and others to perform at its annual benefit concert in Mississippi to raise funds for the Better Life Foundation. The event is scheduled for December 5th in Biloxi, Mississippi.
