Linkin Park Share Previously Unreleased ‘Meteora’ Outtake ‘Fighting Myself’

Linkin Park recently shared a previously unreleased song, “Fighting Myself,” ahead of the 20th anniversary reissue of their sophomore album Meteora.

The song features vocals from Mike Shinoda and late lead singer Chester Bennington. Shinoda describes the song as the “definitive Linkin Park track.”

“Fighting myself I always lose,” Bennington sings in the chorus, giving fans and friends alike a guiding light through music once more.

“It’s a journey out of grief and darkness, not into grief and darkness,” Shinoda previously said. “If people have been through something similar, I hope they feel less alone. If they haven’t been through this, I hope they feel grateful.”

The band previously announced the version by sharing “Lost,” another unreleased song song that includes vocals from the late Bennington.

The 20th anniversary reissue of Meteora arrives on April 7 in multiple configurations, including a Limited Edition Super Deluxe Box Set.
