Musical Montage: Creed “What If”
The second single from Creed’s massive album Human Clay, “What If,” was also the lead single from the soundtrack album for 2000’s Scream 3. Written by Scott Stapp and Mark Tremonti, the song is one of the heaviest songs in Creed’s catalog and was released on January 31st, 2000, a few days before Scream 3 opened on February 4th. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts and was #11 on the year-end chart. The music video finds David Arquette reprising his role from the movie series as Dewey Riley, who receives a call from Ghostface and proceeds to head into the movie’s Sunrise Studios, where he witnesses each member of Creed get killed by Ghostface. It’s all revealed to be a prank by the band, but the video ends with the “real” Ghostface attacking Dewey. You can check out the music video below.
