"Where'd You Go" was the fourth and last single from The Rising Tied, the debut by Fort Minor, the side project of Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda. It came out in April 2006, and Shinoda wrote it, produced it, mixed it and played on it, with Jay-Z as executive producer.
The song is about what gets lost when a career comes first, told from the side of the person left at home in a long-distance relationship. Holly Brook, the singer later known as Skylar Grey, sings on it, Jonah Matranga of Far adds his voice, and the Page LA Studio Voices fill out the background. Critics liked how plain and direct it was and singled out Brook's vocal. It climbed to No. 4 on the Hot 100, went platinum, and Philip Andelman's video followed three families living with the same loneliness.
