Background and Evolution [ ]

"Going Under" was written by Amy Lee, David Hodges and Ben Moody, while production for the song was handled by Dave Fortman. It was the last vocal written forFallen although a demo version was recorded before the release ofFallen, and it featured a slightly different audio in the music and Lee'due south vocals.^{[1] [ii]} An audio-visual version was recorded presently after the release ofFallen, along with several other songs. Co-ordinate to Amy Lee, "Going Under" is about recovering from an abusive relationship, which she has stated in a number of interviews. In an interview with MTV News, Lee further explained the meaning and the inspiration behind the song,

"And when yous're at the stop of your rope, when y'all're at the betoken where you lot realize something has to alter, that you tin't go along living in the situation that you lot're in. It's cool. It's a very strong song."^[3]

In another interview, she noted that this is the merely vocal on Fallen in which she'south non asking for aid, but actually saving herself:

"I was just getting to that point where I was starting to alter when I wrote that," she says, "and I remember loving that line. From then on, for months, that was my favorite vocal. Information technology's the 1 song that isn't desperate and asking for assist from somebody else. I hear the rest of those songs at present, and I nigh get angry. I'one thousand similar, I don't want to be saved. I want to save myself."^[2]

The UK single of "Going Under" contains the album version of the song and a live version recorded at WNOR in Norfolk, Virginia. An acoustic radio version of "Going Under" and an audio-visual version of Nirvana'southward "Center-Shaped Box," recorded at WXDX-FM in Pittsburgh are placed on the unmarried likewise.

According to the sail music published by Alfred Music Publishing on the website Musicnotes.com, "Going Nether" is ready in common time and performed in slow and free tempo of 84 beats per minute. It is written in the central of B small and Lee's vocal range for the song runs from the musical annotation of E_three to D♯5. Associated with the nu metal genre, the song features several guitars and pulsate machine every bit Lee sings the lines "fifty yard tears I've cried". A writer forThe Boston Globe said that the song is "a mix of Lee'southward ethereal soprano, piano interludes, and layers of serrated guitar crunch that conjure visions of Sarah McLachlan fronting Godsmack."

Mikel Toombs ofSeattle Mail-Intelligencer found a Wagnerian system and metallic and classic rock influences in the vocal. Joe D'Angelo from MTV News wrote that the "toothy riffs" of songs like "Going Under" and "Bring Me to Life" might suggest that "Nobody's Home" (2005) from Avril Lavigne's 2d studio albumUnder My Skin will sound like "an Evanescence song with Avril, not Amy Lee, on vocals." Information technology was also described as a "goth-meets pop" song by Michael D. Clark ofThe Houston Chronicle. Tim Sendra of Allmusic said that the "tinkling pianos and hip-hop-inspired backing vocals, [are] making the song perfect for those who find the male histrionics of Limp Bizkit and their ilk too oppressive." Vik Bansal of MusicOMH compared the vocal with Evanescence'due south previous unmarried, "Bring Me to Life" saying that it contained "Amy Lee's temptress vocals, pseudo-electronic beats à la Linkin Park, understated but menacing metallic riffs in the background, and a ripping, radio-friendly stone chorus."
