"Let Me Drown" comes from Superunknown, Soundgarden's fourth album, released on A&M in March 1994, the record that kept the band's old heaviness while letting a much wider spread of influences in. Chris Cornell wrote it alone, words and music. Michael Beinhorn produced it with the band and Jeff Fura and plays piano on it as well; Jason Corsaro engineered, Brendan O'Brien mixed, and Adam Kasper assisted on both.
It wasn't one of the album's five singles, but it rode along on the band's breakthrough: Superunknown entered the Billboard 200 at number one and has since been ranked among the best albums of the 1990s.
