Before recording their next album, Rob Thomas wrote a song for Carlos Santana's comeback album, Supernatural, on which he sang vocals. The song, "Smooth", became the album's lead single and a gigantic smash hit in 1999, and Thomas would earn several Grammys for writing it.
In 2000, matchbox 20 renamed themselves matchbox twenty and released their second album, mad season. The video for their first hit single, "Bent", made fun of singer Thomas' heightened profile by showing the other band members mug and beat him mercilessly. The evocatively-arranged ballad "If You're Gone" became a big hit, especially on adult contemporary formats; "Mad Season" was also a hit.
For their third album, the other band members demanded equal songwriting credit. Sharing the songwriting duties proved to be a good idea, as the band once again had a greatly successful album, more than you think you are that was omnipresent on radio for more than a year and a half with several hit singles including "Disease", "Bright Lights" and "Unwell", which topped the charts for 20 weeks in 2003.
In May 2004, the band released a concert DVD, Show: A Night in the Life of Matchbox Twenty, featuring 20 songs, including all of their hit singles. In February 2005, rhythm guitarist Adam Gaynor officially left the group, which had been on hiatus to allow other members to pursue side projects.
