"What You Are" was the last of the five singles Audioslave pulled from their self-titled 2002 debut, and it didn't arrive until March 2004. Rick Rubin produced, Tim Commerford, Chris Cornell, Tom Morello and Brad Wilk share the music credit, and Cornell wrote the words, which amount to a goodbye to an evil woman the singer is done with.
It.s a heavy, brooding stomp. It reached number 17 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, and it got a second life in a TV spot for Spider-Man 2.
