"Echo" closed out the singles from Trapt's self-titled 2002 debut, arriving on January 27, 2004 as the third and last. Chris Taylor Brown sings it and wrote the words, and he shares the music credit with fellow guitarist Simon Ormandy and bassist Peter Charell, with Aaron Montgomery on drums. Garth Richardson produced it with the band, Dean Maher engineered and Andy Wallace mixed, giving it a heavy, polished punch built for rock radio.

The video casts Michelle Trachtenberg as Brown's girlfriend in a story told partly in flashbacks: he drops his guitar mid-song to go find her, and it ends with him saying goodbye through a fence. The song exists in two versions, a production edit that gets most of the plays and the full take.
