Songs People Actually Liked – Volume 2 – The Next 6 Years (2004-2009) is a compilation album by American rock band Bowling for Soup, released on August 25, 2023. It is the band's second rerecorded greatest hits album, following 2015's Songs People Actually Liked - Volume 1, and was being rerecorded partly in response to Playlist: The Very Best of Bowling for Soup, released by their former record label, that was created without the band's knowledge or input. This album includes 14 rerecorded songs from their albums A Hangover You Don't Deserve (2004), The Great Burrito Extortion Case (2006), and Sorry for Partyin' (2009).

Background

Having a “Greatest Hits” is one of things you sort of dream about as a kid, but deep down, it’s more if a fantasy really. Now here we are realizing our second and we have nearly made it to half way through our career. I was nervous about these songs. Sonically, on the originals, they were already “there.” But I think like everything in our band, the years add something to the luster, and it certainly happened here! The songs are still intact with their original selves. But I think you will feel a different energy. In a good way. -Jaret[1]

The band's first volume of Songs People Actually Liked, which featured rerecorded songs from the bands first ten years, was released on January 27, 2015. In February 2020, Reddick unveiled the cover art for the second volume on Instagram.[2]
