"Crawl Back In" was the first thing most people heard from Dead By Sunrise, the band that paired Linkin Park's Chester Bennington with the members of Julien-K. It hit iTunes on August 18, 2009, ahead of their debut album Out of Ashes, where it sits second in the running order. Bennington wrote it with Amir Derakh, Ryan Shuck and Anthony Valcic, and plays guitar and synthesizer on it himself.
It digs back into his old trouble with alcohol, ground Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory had already walked, but Bennington framed it as a song about doubting your own authenticity, wondering which thoughts are really yours and which come from the people around you. Howard Benson produced and Chris Lord-Alge mixed, and MTV's James Montgomery heard it as dark but not pitch-black, a slow climb toward the light. P.R. Brown directed the video, which followed in September.
