Linkin Park wrote "I'll Be Gone" as a band for Living Things, their fifth album, out in 2012, and Mike Shinoda produced it with Rick Rubin. Shinoda and Chester Bennington share the vocals and the words, Arcade Fire's arranger Owen Pallett adds strings, and Manny Marroquin mixed it. It's guitar-heavy and gloomy, a long slide downward that Billboard likened to Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots, and it tends to leave a listener in a low mood.
It entered the UK rock singles chart at 26, and KROQ in Los Angeles added it to its playlist in December 2012. In November 2013 a longform demo from 2010, titled "Primo", went up on the band's Tumblr for the LP Underground fan club and was picked as the third track on LP Underground XIII.
