This recognition led to their major label debut, The Beautiful Letdown, which was released in 2003. It went on to sell over 2.6 million copies and produced the band's best-known singles, \"Meant to Live\" and \"Dare You to Move.\"\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to Jon Foreman, the name \"Switchfoot\" is a surfing term. \"We all love to surf and have been surfing all our lives so to us, the name made sense.
