In late 2003 , Yellowcard finally broke through with a hit single , " Ocean Avenue " . The song premiered on MTV 's TRL program , and quickly shot up the charts to No. 1 . Radio eventually picked up on the single , and the song made it to No. 37 on the '' Billboard '' Hot 100 . The song " Empty Apartment " was also featured on an episode of the TV show '' One Tree Hill '' . Suddenly , Yellowcard was everywhere from the covers of '' Alternative Press '' , to headliners of the 2004 Warped Tour , to on stage at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards performing " Ocean Avenue " . The band took home the MTV2 award as well . Yellowcard featured on an episode of MTV 's Real World/Road Rules Challenge , performing " Way Away " while cast members trashed a mock hotel room in true rock star fashion . The album 's first track , " Way Away " , appeared on the soundtracks of '' SSX 3 '' and '' Madden NFL 2004 '' . The album 's second track , " Breathing " , also appeared in EA 's '' Burnout 3 : Takedown '' and '' FlatOut 2 '' . Following " Ocean Avenue " 's success , the band released the single " Only One " , a rock ballad which also did fairly well on TRL and radio .
