Editing Make Yourself (section)

==Release and commercial response==
Shortly after the album's release, a [[death metal]] band from [[Louisiana]] called Incubus changed their name. Now known as [[Opprobrium (band)|Opprobrium]], they had released two critically acclaimed albums in 1988 and 1990, titled ''Serpent Temptation'' and ''Beyond the Unknown'', and were not aware of the Californian Incubus prior to the release of ''Make Yourself''. The name change was voluntarily made in order to avoid confusion and any potential conflicts between the two bands.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.metal-rules.com/2008/05/28/opprobrium-francis-and-moyses-howard/|title=Opprobrium - Francis and Moyses Howard|date=May 28, 2008|website=Metal-Rules.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://loudwire.com/metallica-cease-and-desist-allegedly-ripping-off-80s-metal-band-incubus/|title=Metallica Issued Cease-And-Desist for Allegedly Plagiarizing Death Metal Band|first=Graham |last=Hartmann|website=Loudwire|date=7 April 2017 }}</ref> ''Serpent Temptation'' and ''Beyond the Unknown'' were sometimes incorrectly labelled as being early releases from the Californian Incubus, and Opprobrium eventually reissued these albums under their new name.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/beyond-the-unknown-reissue/1510776961|title=Beyond the Unknown (Reissue) by Opprobrium|date=January 1, 1990|via=music.apple.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Incubus/dp/B000026UPF|title=Beyond The Unknown|via=Amazon}}</ref> A British [[hard rock]]/[[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band called Incubus had also released an album in 1984 titled ''To the Devil a Daughter'', which was sometimes attributed to the Californian Incubus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/release/6655972-Incubus-To-The-Devil-A-Daughter|title=Incubus - To The Devil A Daughter|date=December 2, 2007|via=www.discogs.com}}</ref>

The first single "Pardon Me" was initially released to radio stations as an acoustic song, which led to the album version becoming popular as well.<ref name="oral"/> According to Boyd, it was Epic/Immortal Records that suggested "Pardon Me" be released as a single, telling [[MTV]] in 2000 that "we wrote 'Pardon Me' along with the whole album and never thought anything different about it."<ref name="mtv"/> In August 2000, an EP titled ''[[When Incubus Attacks Volume 1]]'' was released, featuring the acoustic version of "Pardon Me" and acoustic versions of the songs "Make Yourself" and "Stellar". The three acoustic versions of these songs originated from a November 1999 recording session in [[Chicago]].<ref name="mtv">{{Cite web|url=https://www.mtv.com/news/ghgc89/incubus-reveal-softer-side-on-ep|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221026140718/https://www.mtv.com/news/ghgc89/incubus-reveal-softer-side-on-ep|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 26, 2022|title=Incubus Reveal Softer Side On EP|website=MTV}}</ref> The EP also featured additional material, including the song "Crowded Elevator", which was recorded during the ''Make Yourself'' sessions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/when-incubus-attacks-vol-1-ep--mw0000086501|title=Incubus - When Incubus Attacks, Vol. 1 [EP] Album Reviews, Songs & More &#124; AllMusic|via=www.allmusic.com}}</ref> "Crowded Elevator" had earlier appeared on the soundtrack album for the horror film ''[[Scream 3]]'', which was released in January 2000.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/scream-3-original-soundtrack--mw0000262426|title=Original Soundtrack - Scream 3 [Original Soundtrack] Album Reviews, Songs & More &#124; AllMusic|via=www.allmusic.com}}</ref>

By the time ''Make Yourself'''s final and most popular single "Drive" was released in November 2000, the band had already sold a million copies, with Einziger recalling in 2020 that, "'Pardon Me' was a big deal for us, 'Stellar' was the second song that came out and a big deal on MTV, and then when 'Drive' came out it really pushed everything over the top."<ref name="oral"/> "Drive" managed to garner substantial airplay on non-rock stations, and in a 2001 ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' interview, Boyd said that this fit with their philosophy of not creating music for any one particular group.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UBIEAAAAMBAJ&dq=incubus+cruised+in+2001&pg=PA32 | title=Billboard | date=8 December 2001 }}</ref> Regarding their success around this time, Boyd remembered in 2020, "the most stark change was that all of a sudden women were coming to our concerts so when people would cheer after a song, the pitch went up considerably."<ref name="oral"/>

In 1999 and 2000, music videos were made for "Pardon Me", "Stellar" and "Drive". Less widely seen music videos were also made for the non-singles "I Miss You", "Privilege" and "Out from Under". The video for "Out from Under" was originally meant to be released as part of the 2001 ''[[When Incubus Attacks Volume 2]]'' DVD, although it was not included as there was not enough space left on the disc. A tour edition for the album was released in 2001, with a second disc containing the three acoustic tracks and one live track.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/release/make-yourself-bonus-tracks-mr0001419762|title=Make Yourself [Bonus Tracks] - Incubus &#124; Release Info|website=AllMusic}}</ref>
