Bring Me to Life
Updated: 12/11/2025, 5:10:40 PM Wikipedia source
"Bring Me to Life" is the debut single by American rock band Evanescence from their debut studio album, Fallen (2003). It was released by Wind-up as the album's lead single on January 13, 2003, following its inclusion in the soundtrack of the film Daredevil. The song was written by Amy Lee at age 19 about having been desensitized in an abusive relationship and realizing things she had been missing in life. Guitarist Ben Moody and David Hodges share songwriting credits on the song, which includes guest vocals from Paul McCoy of the band 12 Stones. Produced by Dave Fortman, "Bring Me to Life" is primarily a nu metal and rap rock song. The male vocals were forced by the label against Lee's wishes to market the song in the musical landscape of the time. The song received a generally positive reception, with critics praising Lee's vocals and melody. One of Evanescence's most commercially successful songs, "Bring Me to Life" charted at number one in Australia, Chile, Colombia, Italy, Scotland, and the rest of the United Kingdom while receiving multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Italy, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It won the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance and was also nominated for Best Rock Song. Directed by Philipp Stölzl, the music video shows Lee singing and climbing on a skyscraper while having nightmares in her room. The song was re-worked and re-recorded on Evanescence's orchestral-electronic fourth studio album, Synthesis (2017).
