"Get Born Again" arrived in June 1999 as the lead single from Nothing Safe: Best of the Box, and it's one of the last two songs Alice in Chains cut with Layne Staley, alongside "Died", before his death in 2002. Jerry Cantrell and Staley wrote it together, and Dave Jerden and Toby Wright produced, with Wright mixing. It's a grim, grinding piece of alternative metal, the old dread still curling through it.
Rock radio snapped it up: it went to number four on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks and 12 on Modern Rock Tracks, and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2000. It also turned up on Music Bank and, later, The Essential Alice in Chains.
