"Maria" comes from The Battle of Los Angeles, the third Rage Against the Machine album, released on Epic in 1999. All four members, Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, share the music and arranging credits, and de la Rocha wrote the words and sings lead over Commerford's bass and Wilk's drums. Brendan O'Brien produced and mixed it, with the band as co-producers, and Nick DiDia recorded it.
The album turned out to be their last set of original material before the band's first split, in 2000, and it went out swinging: double platinum, a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album, and both Time and Rolling Stone naming it the best album of 1999.
