Linkin Park has just unveiled another hard-hitting track titled "Fighting Myself" ahead of the 20th-anniversary edition of their GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum landmark sophomore LP, Meteora. The band's members found the instrumental for the song while going through their archives, and Mike Shinoda was surprised to discover vocal stems of himself and Chester Bennington. After mixing the multitrack, the song emerged as what Shinoda calls "a definitive Linkin Park track." It boasts incisive verses by Shinoda and a chorus by Bennington declaring "Fighting myself I always lose," with bruising distorted guitars in the background.

This new release follows the lead single "Lost," which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Rock & Alternative Airplay Chart, becoming the biggest rock song of 2023 so far in the USA. "Lost" has received over 93 million global streams and 30 million YouTube views on the music video, making it the band's highest-charting single in the UK since 2007. Meteora 20th Anniversary Edition will be available in different configurations, including a Super Deluxe Box Set, Deluxe Vinyl Box Set, Deluxe 3-CD, and Digital Download.

Linkin Park has been one of the best-selling artists of the last two decades, with their debut album Hybrid Theory achieving RIAA Diamond certification and selling over 55 million copies worldwide. The band has received numerous awards, including 2 GRAMMY® Awards, 5 American Music Awards, 4 MTV VMA Awards, 10 MTV Europe Music Awards, and 3 World Music Awards. They have headlined major music festivals globally and remain the first and only Western rock band to play a five-stadium tour in China. Their fifth #1 debut on the Billboard 200 was 2017's gold-certified album One More Light.
