"Dear Agony" is the title track of Breaking Benjamin's fourth studio album, released on September 29, 2009: the record frontman Benjamin Burnley has called the first he ever wrote sober, with a cover that is an MRI scan of his own head. That album was also the first to hand writing credits to band members other than Burnley, but this song is his alone, words and music.

David Bendeth produced and mixed it and shaped the arrangement with Burnley, with John Bender, Jon D’Uva, Kato Khandwala and Dan Korneff engineering. It belongs to the end of an era, too: Dear Agony was the last Breaking Benjamin album with guitarist Aaron Fink, bassist Mark James Klepaski and drummer Chad Szeliga.
