Given Up

Article summary

"Given Up" is a song by American rock band Linkin Park. The song was released as the fourth single from their third studio album, Minutes to Midnight. It was released digitally worldwide on February 15, 2008, with the UK single release following in March 2008. The song was not as much of a success as what was expected in the US, although it peaked at number 4 on the US Alternative Airplay chart. Chester Bennington's ability to hold a note (a fry-screamed D5-B4) for 17 seconds (2:27-2:44) is considered the highlight of the song.
