Linkin Park tucked "Lying From You" onto Meteora, their second album, in March 2003, and a year later it went out to radio as an airplay-only single. It kicks off with a keyboard sample that has the grain of a viola, a sound the band built themselves, and that figure keeps looping under the verses, with a sampled car burnout lurking in the mix. Don Gilmore produced it with the band and Andy Wallace mixed, keeping the rap-metal crunch clenched tight.

Mike Shinoda said at the time that no cover band would ever pull it off, because Chester Bennington sings it far too hard, and that the whole band was proud of it. By November 2004 it had been stitched into "Dirt off Your Shoulder/Lying from You" on Collision Course, their mash-up record with Jay-Z.
