Given Up was released as the 4th single to the 2007 album Minutes to Midnight. It is a unique song in various aspects. It is the heaviest song on the album with an amazing 17-second-long scream. It is the 1st song where Chester uses ‘fuck’ in a song and by extension contains the 2nd most profanity (1st being “When They Come For Me”) of any Linkin Park song.
