The band approved of the overall sound, with Shinoda noting that adding the female voice brought more meaning to the song, signaling that it is not just about one person's struggle. Music producers Emily Wright and Andrew Bolooki handled vocal production. Kiiara only recorded vocals for the song, as the lyrics and music had already been written prior to her involvement. Zane put Shinoda in contact with Kiiara, and the band ended up deciding to work with her. Lowe reached out to vocalist Shinoda, who was intrigued considering how different Kiiara's music, like her single " Gold", was from Linkin Park's previous works. The band was introduced to Kiiara through Zane Lowe, who, upon interviewing her, was informed that Linkin Park was her favorite band. Bennington recorded a version entirely with his vocals in case the band could not find a fit for a female singer, while the band continued their search.

It is the band's last single to be released during Bennington's lifetime.īand members Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, and Brad Delson worked with Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter in co-writing the song's lyrics, who had previously worked with artists such as Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Gwen Stefani.
