"End of Me" kicked off the 7th Symphony campaign for Finland's Apocalyptica as the album's lead single, and it handed the microphone to Gavin Rossdale of Bush. It went up on iTunes on 2 August 2010, with a German release following on 6 August.
Rossdale wrote it with Eicca Toppinen and Johnny Lee Andrews, and the band arranged it. Joe Barresi produced, recorded and mixed the track, with Matias Kupiainen also recording and Lauri Porra playing bass, while the extra voices come from Andrews, Barresi, Ossi Tuomela and the band themselves. The video went a suitably gothic route: it was shot at the end of May 2010 in a crematorium in Altadena, California, with Canadian director Lisa Mann, who had already made the band's clip for "I Don't Care" from Worlds Collide.
