Linkin Park's "Points of Authority" started out as the fourth track on Hybrid Theory, their 2000 debut, and spent a long stretch as the single that almost was: a UK CD single was pencilled in for September 2001 before "Papercut" took the slot, and a January 2002 release as the album's fifth single got cancelled. The remix went out in its place. Renamed "Pts.OF.Athrty", it became the only single taken from the 2002 remix album Reanimation, with Jay Gordon producing.
All five members share the writing credit: Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Rob Bourdon and Joe Hahn. The song has had a busy afterlife, too, from the Adam Sandler film Little Nicky to Collision Course, the mash-up EP with Jay-Z, and Loudwire has called it the heaviest track the band ever made.
