"Bring Me to Life" is the first single from Evanescence's multi-platinum debut album Fallen. It features guest vocals from Paul McCoy, lead vocalist of 12 Stones. At the 2004 Grammy Awards the song was honored with the award for Best Hard Rock Performance.

When the single was released, the track order of Fallen had not yet been finalized; although the single states the B-side "Farther Away" is the Album Version, it was eventually dropped from Fallen. The Bliss Mix of "Bring Me to Life", another B-side on the single, is the original version of the song before Paul McCoy's vocals were written for the Daredevil soundtrack.

Different versions of the "Bring Me to Life" single have been released, such as promos, DVDs and versions with altered track orders. A well known version, considered to be a collector's item, is the first pressing of the Australian single. On this version, the fourth track was not the video version of "Bring Me to Life", but another B-side titled "Missing". This track was removed in subsequent pressings, and was eventually released with Anywhere but Home.

There are two other demo versions of "Bring Me to Life" known to exist, both having been leaked onto the Internet. Both are often referred to as an 'acoustic version'; however, neither are available on any album; instead they can occasionally be found through websites or peer-to-peer networks. Both versions are similar in composition, with only a few differences—such as Amy Lee's voice being warped in the intro to one—setting them apart. The song itself is mainly made up of electric guitar and assorted digital sound effects. Neither of the demos feature the vocals of Paul McCoy. This original cut of the song lacks the piano in the intro, and features a guitar solo during the breakdown.

During live performances featuring "Bring Me to Life", McCoy's lines were sung by former Evanescence guitarist John LeCompt.

"Bring Me to Life" was placed at #73 on Billboard's Best of the 2000s Rock Songs list, making it the only song by a female-fronted band to be included.

Evanescence - Going Under

"Going Under" is the second single from Fallen, the debut album by American alternative metal band Evanescence. Originally planned to be the first single, the success of "Bring Me to Life" eclipsed the initial decision.

While the only publicly released studio version of "Going Under" appears on Fallen, a demo version was made with minor — yet noticeable — differences which set it apart, including the way Lee's voice is mixed and the sound of the instruments.
