"Lost" is a song by American rock band Linkin Park. Originally recorded during sessions for their second studio album, Meteora (2003), it was later officially released on February 10, 2023, as the lead single from the album's 20th-anniversary reissue.
The song was included in the setlist for the band's From Zero World Tour in 2024.




Background


The song was initially recorded in 2002 to be featured on Linkin Park's second studio album, Meteora (2003). It had been fully formed at the time, mixed and mastered along with the other songs on the album, but held from the album's tracklist and shelved. After the band hinted at releasing material in the second half of January 2023 by teasing countdowns and scavenger hunts on their website, the song was officially released on February 10, 2023, in promotion of the band's 20th anniversary re-release of Meteora.
Mike Shinoda wrote, "Finding 'Lost' was like finding a favorite photo you had forgotten you'd taken, like it was waiting for the right moment to reveal itself". According to Shinoda, fans had been asking for songs containing the late lead vocalist Chester Bennington's voice for years, and stated that "Lost" is one of multiple unreleased tracks featuring Bennington's vocals to be included on the 20th anniversary edition of Meteora.




Composition


"Lost" has been described as nu metal and a hard rock song with electronic elements. It was noted that "Lost" is sonically similar to "Breaking the Habit" and "Numb". Jason Lipshutz of Billboard described the song as a "haunting hard rock anthem" and retrospectively commented that it is "classic Linkin Park, an electro-rock anthem buoyed by Chester Bennington’s singular voice."




Music video


The band released an anime-inspired AI-generated video for the song on February 10, 2023. It features clips from the Live in Texas performance, The Making of Meteora documentary, the "New Divide", "Somewhere I Belong", "Breaking the Habit", and Mike Shinoda's "Fine" music videos, and Maciej Kuciara and pplpleasr's animation "White Rabbit". It was created by producers and animators Maciej Kuciara and pplpleasr. It was nominated for Best Rock Video at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.




Live performances


Following a lengthy hiatus after Bennington's death in 2017, Linkin Park reformed with new members Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain, and announced their comeback with the new members and new album From Zero (2024) through a livestreamed concert at Warner Bros. Studios Burbank on September 5, 2024. A brief piano version of "Lost" was performed during the concert, with Armstrong in lead vocals, marking the song's live debut in any capacity.
