Fuel's "Won't Back Down" was written against the clock. Guitarist Carl Bell had less than a week to finish it so Fox could have it in time for Daredevil, and it went out in 2003 as the lead single from Daredevil: The Album before finding a second home later that year on Natural Selection, the band's third album.
Both the rush and the movie left their marks on it: this is the most industrial-sounding thing in the Fuel catalog, a clanking, grinding slab of alternative metal shaped partly by the kind of film it was made for. Michael Beinhorn is credited as producer, Wind-up released it, and it's the first song to play over the film's credits.
