"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 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).
