"Vindicated" is a song by American rock band Dashboard Confessional. It was written by Chris Carrabba with production from Don Gilmore and Gil Norton. The song was released on May 31, 2004 as the lead single from the soundtrack of the film Spider-Man 2. The song was included on Dashboard Confessional's fourth studio album, Dusk and Summer (2006) as a bonus track on some pressings and on deluxe edition versions. Played over the film's end credits, "Vindicated" is the theme for the film.

Loudwire included the track on their list of The 12 Best Emo Power Ballads.[4]

Background

Initially, a song titled "I Need a Sure Thing" was to be used on the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack; but, after having received a special screening of the film, Carrabba penned "Vindicated" in 10 minutes,[5][6][7] inspired by and reflecting the theme of the film.[8]

"I Need a Sure Thing" has since then been performed during the Dusk and Summer tour, but not thereafter.[citation needed]

Reception

"Vindicated" was released to radio on June 1, 2004.[9] "Vindicated" received significant airplay on US alternative rock radio stations in late 2004, peaking at #2 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. It was held off from the #1 spot by Three Days Grace's "Just Like You".[10]
