Korn cut "Did My Time" for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life, and it went out as a single in July 2003 before landing later that year on their sixth album, Take a Look in the Mirror. The main riff was a leftover from the Untouchables sessions: James "Munky" Shaffer kept playing it, and producer Michael Beinhorn kept not hearing it. Early in 2003 the band finished the song, Paramount Pictures bit, and it ended up rolling over the film's end credits.
With Jonathan Davis and the band producing and Frank Filipetti recording and mixing, it's Korn back in their own hands: a low, lurching grind, Davis coiled and seething until he snaps. It stuck around, too, a live staple until 2019 and played something like 500 times, second only to "Y'All Want a Single" among the album's songs.
