"LifeLine" was the second single from Metamorphosis, Papa Roach's fifth album, and it began life as "Hanging On" until Jacoby Shaddix rewrote the words of the chorus and the title changed with them. Tobin Esperance wrote the music, Shaddix and James Michael the lyrics.
It went up on iTunes on 27 January 2009, with a Hot Topic exclusive CD single following that February. Chris Sims directed the video in Long Beach, California: a man packs a box and leaves an industrial yard, faces an eviction notice and unpaid bills, and ends up chased by a cut-up, bruised figure who turns out to be himself. The band also filmed the song live at Crüe Fest to show it off in its truest form.
