During the recording of "All the Small Things," the band experimented with different vocal effects to capture the right sound for the chorus. Producer Jerry Finn had Mark Hoppus record multiple takes of the "na-na-na" chorus with different levels of enthusiasm and tone. In the end, they layered several of these takes to create the energetic, anthemic feel that the chorus is known for. This layering technique helped give the song its catchy, sing-along quality, which contributed to its massive radio success.
