For other uses, see Bring Me to Life (disambiguation).

"Bring Me to Life" is the debut single by American rock band Evanescence from their debut studio album, Fallen (2003). Wind-up released it as the album's lead single on April 7, 2003, following its inclusion in the soundtrack of the film Daredevil. The song was written by Amy Lee when she was 19 about having been desensitized in an abusive relationship and realizing things she had been missing in life. Guitarist Ben Moody and David Hodges also share songwriting credits on the song, which features guest vocals from Paul McCoy of the band 12 Stones. Produced by Dave Fortman, "Bring Me to Life" is primarily a nu metal song. The male vocals, which are rapped, were forced by the label against Lee's wishes in order to market it in the musical landscape of the time.

The song received a generally positive reception, with critics praising Lee's vocals and melody. It became a commercial success, reaching number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 and charting in the top ten of over 20 countries. One of Evanescence's most commercially successful songs, it was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2019. "Bring Me to Life" 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-electronica fourth studio album, Synthesis (2017).

Composition and recording Edit

Lee wrote "Bring Me to Life" at age 19,[1] after a then-acquaintance looked her "dead in the eye" and asked her if she was happy; Lee was in an abusive relationship at the time and in turmoil, and was shocked the person saw through her facade as she felt she "was completely outwardly acting normal". "I felt like he could just see straight into my soul. That inspired the whole song", she explained.[2][3][4] Lee later confirmed that person was Josh Hartzler, a therapist who became a close friend and she married in 2007.[5][6][4] The song is about "open-mindedness", Lee said. "It's about waking up to all the things you've been missing for so long." After the moment that inspired her to write the song, she "realized that for months I'd been numb, just going through the motions of life."[7][8] In 2022, she recalled the song's process and her inspiration for writing it, noting that she was finding her voice lyrically while making the album and realizing "how the more honest I was, the more powerful I felt"; the song was "in a broader way about breaking free from something I knew I had the power to if I was brave enough", and represented "true desires, unspoken frustrations and fears, standing up to the bullshit around me [that] I was just on the cusp of being able to defeat".[4]

Lee said that she wrote songs alone first on the piano or on acoustic guitar, and for Fallen she would write a song and work with Moody to "take it to the finish line."[9] Moody and David Hodges also share writing credits on the track.[10] With pressure from the label to refine its production, Evanescence ultimately made around 10 demos of the song, which included changing the synths for the opening piano part, and the addition of real strings by David Campbell, an "expense" Lee "fought hard for over a less expensive synthetic alternative".[4] In 2004, Lee expressed that the making of Fallen was stressful because "we had to remember at least one big single had to be totally radio-friendly. And I'm really ready not to think that way."[9]

Recording work for Fallen began at Ocean Studios in Burbank, California, where most of "Bring Me to Life" was recorded, prior to full album production.[11][12] The song was mixed by Jay Baumgardner in his studio, NRG Recording Studios in North Hollywood, on an SSL 9000 J.[11] A 22-piece string section was recorded in Seattle by Mark Curry.[11] "Bring Me to Life" was mixed at the Newman Scoring Stage and Bolero Studios, both in Los Angeles.[11]

"Bring Me to Life" is stylistically a nu metal-rap rock song,[13][14][15] which Lee disliked as the label forced them to add the male rapping vocal to make it marketable, or the song and the album would not be released.[19] During an interview, Lee stated: "It was presented to me as, 'You're a girl singing in a rock band, there's nothing else like that out there, nobody's going to listen to you. You need a guy to come in and sing back-up for it to be successful.'"[20] Lee wrote Paul McCoy's part.[21] On the chorus, Lee sings the lines "'Call my name and save me from the dark' over "surging guitars",[22] and McCoy raps the lines "Wake me up/ I can't wake up/ Save me!".[14][9] According to the sheet music published by Alfred Music Publishing on the website Musicnotes.com, the song is set in common time and performed in a moderate tempo of 95 beats per minute. It is written in the key of E minor and Lee's vocal range for the song runs from the low note of A3 to the high note of D5.[23]

Rolling Stone's Kirk Miller said that the song is stylistically a "case of mistaken identity", dooming the band to Linkin Park comparisons "thanks to [its] digital beats, clean metal-guitar riffs, scattered piano lines and all-too-familiar mix of rapping and singing."[24] Blair R. Fischer of MTV called it a "ubiquitous rap-rock confection".[14] Richard Harrington from The Washington Post described its sound as "crunching metallic".[25] Ann Powers from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said that "with its lyrical drama and crunchy guitars, [the song] branded the band as overdone nu-metal."[26] "Bring Me to Life" has also been classified as hard rock,[27] alternative rock,[28] and Blender writer Nick Catucci described it as a "crossover goth-metal smash".[29] Nick Catucci of The Village Voice wrote that "piano tinkles, Lee's breathless keen, dramatic pauses, guitars like clouds of locusts, [and] McCoy's passing-12-kidney-stones guest vocals" characterize the song, which "sounds like church-burning, brain-eating European dark metal."[30] Vik Bansal of musicOMH said the track contains "Lee's temptress vocals, pseudo-electronic beats à la Linkin Park, understated but menacing metallic riffs in the background, and a ripping, radio-friendly rock chorus."[31] MTV described it as "an unrelenting paean that begins as hauntingly delicate before piling on crumpled guitar lines and a rap" while "Lee's vocals soar above the whole sludgy mixture".[8]

Release Edit

"Bring Me to Life" first appeared in a scene of the film Daredevil and was included on the film's soundtrack, released in February 2003. The song was released as Fallen's first single on April 7, 2003.[4] Wind-up Entertainment president Ed Vetri revealed that when the label first introduced the song to radio, radio programmers rejected it, saying, "A chick and a piano? Are you kidding? On rock radio?"[32] Some program directors would hear the female voice and piano at the start of the song and turn it off without listening to the rest of the song.[33] A female voice on rock radio was a rarity, and the song was considered for airplay only after there was a male vocal on it.[34][35][36] After the song was released on the Daredevil soundtrack, listeners began requesting air play for it, compelling radio stations to reconsider the band.[37][38][34]

Lee said that with the success of the single they "went from playing clubs to arenas in a matter of months" and "people in other countries were listening to it".[4] On its international success, she stated:

"Since we released [the song] on Daredevil it went all over the world, whether they wanted it to or not, so we had fans in countries we had never been to because they had the soundtrack and they heard it on the radio. So, it started blowing up all over the world and then we had a reason to tour all over the world. And that's how the whole international thing happened this early."[22]

The single includes "Farther Away" as a B-side. The first pressing of the Australian single contained the track "Missing" as a B-side,[39] but this was omitted from later pressings and later released as a bonus track on the band's first live album, Anywhere but Home.[40] An acoustic version was recorded and released on the "Bring Me to Life" DVD. In 2003, the song served as the official theme song for WWE's 2003 No Way Out event.[41]

Reception and accolades Edit

AllMusic's Johnny Loftus called the song "misleading" due to the vocal duet but "flawless".[42] Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times said that "Bring Me to Life" "floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee and then hits like a brick."[43] Writing for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Ann Powers wrote that it is a "mix of voluptuous singing and metallic guitar (the latter enhanced by McCoy's rap-rock declamations)".[26] Joe D'Angelo of MTV said the song is an "unrelenting paean that begins as hauntingly delicate before piling on crumpled guitar lines and a rap" and Lee's "vocals soar above the whole sludgy mixture to keep it from sinking into tired mediocrity."[8] Adrien Bengrad from PopMatters called it a "quality single" although hearing it more led him to find it "nothing more than a bombastic distraction from the usual dreck" despite "the refreshing dose of melody".[44] Christopher Gray of The Austin Chronicle deemed it "one of the more curious offerings to be had on the airwaves right now and lingers in the memory like the remnants of a particularly vivid nightmare".[45]

Bryan Reeseman of Mix described "Bring Me to Life" as "grandiose and moody".[11] Nick Catucci of The Village Voice deemed it a "fabulous breakthrough single" that sounds like "church-burning, brain-eating European dark metal."[30] Writing for Kerrang!, Mike Rampton found the "manly rap" forced by their label to be "not good".[46] John Hood of the Miami New Times said it is a "huge, heavy, and mightily histrionic" track that pits Lee's "soaring voice both with and against the rap-infused gruff of McCoy".[47] In his review of Evanescence's second album, Don Kaye of Blabbermouth.net criticized the song for containing "annoying faux-rapping" as a "key component".[48] For NPR, Suzy Exposito wrote that McCoy "came in to insulate chauvinistic rock listeners from Lee's operatic subjectivity".[49] Melissa Maerz of Spin said that Lee thematically tackles death on the song with "grandeur".[50] Rolling Stone called it "haunting, moody and cinematic".[51]

"Bring Me to Life" won the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 46th Grammy Awards,[52][53][54] where it was also nominated in the category Best Rock Song. At the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards the band was nominated in the category for Best New Artist for "Bring Me to Life".[55] The song received a nomination at the 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards for Best Song.[56][57] At the 14th annual Billboard Music Awards, it won the award for Soundtrack Single of the Year.[58] "Bring Me to Life" ranked number 69 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 2000s.[59] In 2018, NPR named it one of the 200 greatest songs by 21st century women.[49] In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked the song at number 43 on their "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Songs of All Time" list.[60]

Chart performance Edit

"Bring Me to Life" peaked within the top 10 of more than 15 countries, and within the top 20 of several other countries, making it the band's most successful single to date. It was certified Platinum in 2003 for selling more than one million copies in the United States.[61] It topped the Billboard Alternative Songs and Pop 100 charts and peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100.[62] It also peaked at number four on the Adult Pop Songs chart. The song initially peaked within the Christian rock charts as well, because its lyrics were interpreted as a call for new life in Jesus Christ by several listeners.[63][64] "Bring Me to Life" charted at number 73 on Billboard's Best of the 2000s Rock Songs Chart, the only song by a female-led band on that chart.[65] The song topped the charts of Australia, Belgium, Italy and the United Kingdom. It peaked within the top 5 of Austria, Canada, France, Ireland, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Netherlands, and Sweden. On the ARIA Singles Chart, "Bring Me to Life" peaked at number one where it stayed for six weeks.[66]

"Bring Me to Life" charted within the top 20 of every other country of its release. In the United Kingdom, the song spent four weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart, which in turn helped Fallen peak at the top of the UK Albums Chart.[67][68] The song also topped the European Hot 100 chart.[69] On June 4, 2011, the song returned to the top of the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart, eight years after its original release, remaining at number one for two weeks, on June 11, 2011, to June 25, 2011. It fell to number two, remaining there for three weeks, and on July 17, 2011, "Bring Me to Life" returned to number one again and remained there for three weeks. The song remained within the top 10 into October 2011.[70] As of June 2018, the song has sold more than 745,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[71]

Music video Edit

The accompanying music video for "Bring Me to Life" was directed by Philipp Stölzl.[72][73] Talking about the video, Stölzl said: "On the one hand, it brings out the most catchy part of the song, the bridge, the duet with the male and female vocals. On the other hand, it reflects the ['Daredevil'] soundtrack background of the song. I did not know if I would have to use a stunt double for most of the angles, which would have restricted me a lot, but then it turned out that Amy did everything herself, hanging on Paul's arm for hours without getting tired. In the end, she is the one who made that shot strong."[72]

According to Joe D'Angelo of MTV News, Lee's "teetering on a ledge" in the video shows a "distressed and emotionally wrought heroine."[74] MTV's Gil Kaufman described the scenes of the video: "Lee dreams that she has super Spidey powers, climbs up the outside of a building, spies on her creepy neighbors, then plunges into the abyss."[75] Corey Moss of MTV felt that "as intense as a superhero movie, the sequence also gives a nice visual to the song's most memorable lyric, 'Save me.'"[72] John Hood of Miami New Times wrote that the "gothopolis backdrop" in the video "would make Tim Burton green with envy".[47] Ann Powers from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote: "You might not immediately recognize Amy Lee's name, but you would know her if she plummeted past you from the top floor of a tenement building."[26]

The music video peaked at number nine on MTV's Total Request Live in April 2003.[76] It was nominated at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Rock Video, but lost to Linkin Park's "Somewhere I Belong".[55] On February 1, 2022, it surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube, becoming the first Evanescence music video to reach this milestone.[77] As of October 2022, the music video has over 1.1 billion views on YouTube.[78]

Live performances Edit

A live performance from the Fallen tour filmed at Le Zénith in Paris is included on Evanescence's first live album and concert DVD Anywhere but Home (2004). The live recording contains a piano and vocal solo before the song's intro.[79] McCoy's studio vocals were performed by tour guitarist John LeCompt during the tour.[14]

In October 2011, the band performed the song at the Rock in Rio festival.[80] Lee performed the song with Japanese band Wagakki Band in February 2020, at Osaka-jō Hall in Osaka, Japan.[81] In September 2022, Evanescence performed the song live joined by Sonny Sandoval of P.O.D.,[82] and in June 2023 at Rock am Ring festival with guest singer Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach.[83]

In 2017, a rearranged version of the song was recorded for the band's fourth studio album Synthesis. The new version was made available for digital download and streaming on August 18, 2017; it was also made available for instant download for concertgoers who purchased tickets for the band's Synthesis Tour.[84] The Synthesis version of "Bring Me to Life" replaces the drums and guitar from the Fallen version with string arrangements accompanied by crashing cymbals, "tension-building" timpani drums and various electronic elements throughout.[85][86] It also removes Paul McCoy's vocal feature. Several critics have described its new arrangement as "dramatic", with Billboard's Sadie Bell deeming it "just as rich" as the original and Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos calling it a "cinematic take".[85][87] Lee has described the song as "new" to her again due to the fact that she incorporated musical elements and vocals which she had "heard in [her] head" since its release.[87]

and realizing things she had been missing in life Guitarist Ben Moody and David Hodges also share songwriting credits on the song which features guest vocals from Paul McCoy of the band 12 Stones Produced by Dave Fortman Bring Me to Life is primarily a nu metal song The male vocals which are rapped were forced by the label against Lee s wishes in order to market it in the musical landscape of

in the eye and asked her if she was happy Lee was in an abusive relationship at the time and in turmoil and was shocked the person saw through her facade as she felt she was completely outwardly acting normal I felt like he could just see straight into my soul That inspired the whole song she explained 2 3 4 Lee later confirmed that person was Josh Hartzler a therapist who became a close friend and she married in 2007 5 6 4 The song is about open mindedness Lee said It s about waking up to all the things you ve been missing for so long After the moment that inspired her to write the song she realized that for months I d been numb just going through the motions of life 7 8 In 2022 she recalled the song s process and her inspiration for writing it noting that she was finding her voice lyrically while making the album and realizing how the more honest I was the more powerful I felt the song was in a broader way about breaking free from something I knew I had the power to if I was brave enough and represented true desires unspoken frustrations and fears standing up to the bullshit around me that I was just on the cusp of being able to defeat 4 Lee said that she wrote songs alone first on the piano or on acoustic guitar and for Fallen she would write a song and work with Moody to take it to the finish line 9 Moody and David Hodges also share writing credits on the track 10 With pressure from the label to refine its production Evanescence ultimately made around 10 demos of the song which included changing the synths for the opening piano part and the addition of real strings by David Campbell an expense Lee fought hard for over a less expensive synthetic alternative 4 In 2004 Lee expressed that the making of Fallen was stressful because we had to remember at least one big single had to be totally radio friendly And I m really ready not to think that way 9 Recording work for Fallen began at Ocean Studios in Burbank California where most of Bring Me to Life was recorded prior to full album production 11 12 The song was mixed by Jay Baumgardner in his studio NRG Recording Studios in North Hollywood on an SSL 9000 J 11 A 22 piece string section was recorded in Seattle by Mark Curry 11 Bring Me to Life was mixed at the Newman Scoring Stage and Bolero Studios both in Los Angeles 11 Bring Me to Life is stylistically a nu metal rap rock song 13 14 15 which Lee disliked as the label forced them to add the male rapping vocal to make it marketable or the song and the album would not be released 19 During an interview Lee stated It was presented to me as You re a girl singing in a rock band there s nothing else like that out there nobody s going to listen to you You need a guy to come in and sing back up for it to be successful 20 Lee wrote Paul McCoy s part 21 On the chorus Lee sings the lines Call my name and save me from the dark over surging guitars 22 and McCoy raps the lines Wake me up I can t wake up Save me 14 9 According to the sheet music published by Alfred Music Publishing on the website Musicnotes com the song is set in common time and performed in a moderate tempo of 95 beats per minute It is written in the key of E minor and Lee s vocal range for the song runs from the low note of A3 to the high note of D5 23 Rolling Stone s Kirk Miller said that the song is stylistically a case of mistaken identity dooming the band to Linkin Park comparisons thanks to its digital beats clean metal guitar riffs scattered piano lines and all too familiar mix of rapping and singing 24 Blair R Fischer of MTV called it a ubiquitous rap rock confection 14 Richard Harrington from The Washington Post described its sound as crunching metallic 25 Ann Powers from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said that with its lyrical drama and crunchy guitars the song branded the band as overdone nu metal 26 Bring Me to Life has also been classified as hard rock 27 alternative rock 28 and Blender writer Nick Catucci described it as a crossover goth metal smash 29 Nick Catucci of The Village Voice wrote that piano tinkles Lee s breathless keen dramatic pauses guitars like clouds of locusts and McCoy s passing 12 kidney stones guest vocals characterize the song which sounds like church burning brain eating European dark metal 30 Vik Bansal of musicOMH said the track contains Lee s temptress vocals pseudo electronic beats a la Linkin Park understated but menacing metallic riffs in the background and a ripping radio friendly rock chorus 31 MTV described it as an unrelenting paean that begins as hauntingly delicate before piling on crumpled guitar lines and a rap while Lee s vocals soar above the whole sludgy mixture 8 Release Edit Bring Me to Life first appeared in a scene of the film Daredevil and was included on the film s soundtrack released in February 2003 The song was released as Fallen s first single on April 7 2003 4 Wind up Entertainment president Ed Vetri revealed that when the label first introduced the song to radio radio programmers rejected it saying A chick and a piano Are you kidding On rock radio 32 Some program directors would hear the female voice and piano at the start of the song and turn it off without listening to the rest of the song 33 A female voice on rock radio was a rarity and the song was considered for airplay only after there was a male vocal on it 34 35 36 After the song was released on the Daredevil soundtrack listeners began requesting air play for it compelling radio stations to reconsider the band 37 38 34 Lee said that with the success of the single they went from playing clubs to arenas in a matter of months and people in other countries were listening to it 4 On its international success she stated Since we released the song on Daredevil it went all over the world whether they wanted it to or not so we had fans in countries we had never been to because they had the soundtrack and they heard it on the radio So it started blowing up all over the world and then we had a reason to tour all over the world And that s how the whole international thing happened this early 22 The single includes Farther Away as a B side The first pressing of the Australian single contained the track Missing as a B side 39 but this was omitted from later pressings and later released as a bonus track on the band s first live album Anywhere but Home 40 An acoustic version was recorded and released on the Bring Me to Life DVD In 2003 the song served as the official theme song for WWE s 2003 No Way Out event 41 Reception and accolades EditAllMusic s Johnny Loftus called the song misleading due to the vocal duet but flawless 42 Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times said that Bring Me to Life floats like a butterfly stings like a bee and then hits like a brick 43 Writing for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Ann Powers wrote that it is a mix of voluptuous singing and metallic guitar the latter enhanced by McCoy s rap rock declamations 26 Joe D Angelo of MTV said the song is an unrelenting paean that begins as hauntingly delicate before piling on crumpled guitar lines and a rap and Lee s vocals soar above the whole sludgy mixture to keep it from sinking into tired mediocrity 8 Adrien Bengrad from PopMatters called it a quality single although hearing it more led him to find it nothing more than a bombastic distraction from the usual dreck despite the refreshing dose of melody 44 Christopher Gray of The Austin Chronicle deemed it one of the more curious offerings to be had on the airwaves right now and lingers in the memory like the remnants of a particularly vivid nightmare 45 Bryan Reeseman of Mix described Bring Me to Life as grandiose and moody 11 Nick Catucci of The Village Voice deemed it a fabulous breakthrough single that sounds like church burning brain eating European dark metal 30 Writing for Kerrang Mike Rampton found the manly rap forced by their label to be not good 46 John Hood of the Miami New Times said it is a huge heavy and mightily histrionic track that pits Lee s soaring voice both with and against the rap infused gruff of McCoy 47 In his review of Evanescence s second album Don Kaye of Blabbermouth net criticized the song for containing annoying faux rapping as a key component 48 For NPR Suzy Exposito wrote that McCoy came in to insulate chauvinistic rock listeners from Lee s operatic subjectivity 49 Melissa Maerz of Spin said that Lee thematically tackles death on the song with grandeur 50 Rolling Stone called it haunting moody and cinematic 51 Bring Me to Life won the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 46th Grammy Awards 52 53 54 where it was also nominated in the category Best Rock Song At the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards the band was nominated in the category for Best New Artist for Bring Me to Life 55 The song received a nomination at the 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards for Best Song 56 57 At the 14th annual Billboard Music Awards it won the award for Soundtrack Single of the Year 58 Bring Me

Stolzl 72 73 Talking about the video Stolzl said On the one hand it brings out the most catchy part of the song the bridge the duet with the male and female vocals On the other hand it reflects the Daredevil soundtrack background of the song I did not know if I would have to use a stunt double for most of the angles which would have restricted me a lot but then it turned out that Amy did everything herself hanging on Paul s arm for hours without getting tired In the end she is the one who made that shot strong 72 According to Joe D Angelo of MTV News Lee s teetering on a ledge in the video shows a distressed and emotionally wrought heroine 74 MTV s Gil Kaufman described the scenes of the video Lee dreams that she has super Spidey powers climbs up the outside of a building spies on her creepy neighbors then plunges into the abyss 75 Corey Moss of MTV felt that as intense as a superhero movie the sequence also gives a nice visual to the song s most memorable lyric Save me 72 John Hood of Miami New Times wrote that the gothopolis backdrop in the video would make Tim Burton green with envy 47 Ann Powers from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote You might not immediately recognize Amy Lee s name but you would know her if she plummeted past you from the top floor of a tenement building 26 The music video peaked at number nine on MTV s Total Request Live in April 2003 76 It was nominated at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Rock Video but lost to Linkin Park s Somewhere I Belong 55 On February 1 2022 it surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube becoming the first Evanescence music video to reach this milestone 77 As of October 2022 the music video has over 1 1 billion views on YouTube 78 Live performances EditA live performance from the Fallen tour filmed at

recorded for the band s fourth studio album Synthesis The new version was made available for digital download and streaming on August 18 2017 it was also made available for instant download for concertgoers who purchased tickets for the band s Synthesis Tour 84 The Synthesis version of Bring Me to Life replaces the drums and guitar from the Fallen version with string arrangements accompanied by crashing cymbals tension building timpani drums and various electronic elements throughout 85 86 It also removes Paul McCoy s vocal feature Several critics have described its new arrangement as dramatic with Billboard s Sadie Bell deeming it just as rich as the original and Rolling Stone s Brittany Spanos calling it a cinematic take 85 87 Lee has described the song as new to her again due to the fact that she incorporated musical elements and vocals which she had heard in her head since its release 87 Personnel EditCredits are adapted from Fallen liner notes 10 Amy Lee writing keyboards
