"Broken" first appeared on Seether's 2002 debut album Disclaimer, but the version that took over rock radio is the 2004 remake with Amy Lee, Evanescence's singer and at the time the girlfriend of Seether frontman Shaun Morgan. The duet landed on the soundtrack of the Marvel film The Punisher and on the band's reworked Disclaimer II, and it was released as a single in April 2004.

Morgan and Dale Stewart wrote it, and Morgan poured his broken home into it: his wife had chosen to stay in South Africa with their daughter instead of moving with him to the US, and the family came apart. The two voices circle each other over a slow, aching build, and the song reached 20 on the Hot 100, went four-times platinum in the US and became the band's only entry on the Adult Contemporary chart.
