Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before contains 12 songs spanning 1992 to 2003. [1] It contains four final studio recordings (B-sides not included on albums), three live recordings, three demos, an "outtake" and a remix. [1]

Two tracks ("One Week" (Pull's Break Remix) and "Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!") were previously released as B-sides on singles. [1] "I Don't Get It Anymore" is the only final studio recording included for which the song was not later re-recorded and released on an album. "Second Best" appears on Everything to Everyone , and "Adrift", "Half A Heart" and "I Can, I Will, I Do" were subsequently re-recorded for Barenaked Ladies Are Me / Men . [1]

Much of the material on Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before dates to the band's Reprise period. Four tracks come from 2003's Everything to Everyone , two more come from the sessions for 2001's Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits (1991-2001). [1]
