"Here to Stay" throws open Untouchables, Korn's fifth studio album, and went out as its first single in June 2002, with Michael Beinhorn producing, Frank Filipetti recording and Andy Wallace mixing. The whole band shares the writing credit, and the sound is huge and claustrophobic at once, the riffs grinding down like a hydraulic press.

The Hughes Brothers' video put the band on a television set surrounded by the world's troubles of the day, and MTV and MuchMusic played it constantly; it won MuchMusic's Best International Video and a Metal Edge readers' award, and was up for Best Rock Video at the MTV Video Music Awards. The song itself took the Grammy for Best Metal Performance in 2003, it has never left their live set, and Dizzee Rascal later sampled it on "Sirens".
