Linkin Park cut "Lost" in 2002 for Meteora, finished it completely, mixed and mastered with everything else, and then shelved it because it sounded too much like "Numb". Two decades later, after a late-January run of website countdowns and scavenger hunts, the band finally let it out on February 10, 2023, the first single to herald Meteora's 20th-anniversary reissue on Warner and Machine Shop.
It's the Meteora-era band at full strength: Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda on vocals, Brad Delson on guitar, David Michael Farrell on bass, Rob Bourdon on drums and Joe Hahn on turntables and sampler, with Don Gilmore producing alongside them. Shinoda likened digging it up to finding a favorite photo you'd forgotten you ever took, and it went into the From Zero World Tour setlist in 2024 and 2025.
