"Giving In" was the song Adema introduced themselves with, the first single from their self-titled 2001 debut, and it's nu metal aimed straight at the gut. Singer Mark Chavez wrote it with Dave DeRoo, Tim Fluckey, Kris Kohls and Mike Ransom; Bill Appleberry and Tobias Miller produced and engineered it, and Alan Moulder mixed it.

It travelled well beyond rock radio, turning up on Now That's What I Call Music! 9 and in a commercial for AT&T Cingular, and it's still among the songs the band is best known for. Paul Fedor's video puts the band up on a rooftop under a black sky, gliding as though riding a conveyor belt, while Chavez drifts through a series of rooms where things keep changing around him.
