LPLStaff Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Apple Music has now updated the track time for "Fighting Myself" to 3:21, usually a good indicator that the song will be the next pre-release track off of the upcoming release. The information is unconfirmed for now, but this has traditionally proven true for Linkin Park's digital releases for upcoming "instant grat" / "pre-release" songs.

leftshoe18 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) It's pretty cool that they're giving us two of the unreleased tracks this time instead of one (technically) unreleased (but leaked years earlier) and one already released track like with HT20.

c3bebuilder Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Mike did say on the Q&A to "look out" for Fighting Myself and that it has rapping so it most definitely will be the next single I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 He said that it's a definitive LP song so I guess that it will be as heavy as Figure 9 or something like that. Would be great if they release it along a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, does that mean Fighting Myself is not a demo, along with More The Victim? I think i saw an article about these two tracks being 90% nearly done. Anyway, if that's from Apple Music, did they add that to Spotify yet (like pre-save)? Edited February 12, 2023 by AJ93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPLStaff Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Not yet on Spotify, it could be just a little early because they JUST released Lost so this probably wouldn't happen for another few weeks. They'd definitely spread them out. Fighting Myself - updated the wiki with info on it https://linkinpedia.com/index.php?title=Fighting_Myself Mike considers it 90% done, so he wouldn't consider it a "fully complete" non-album track, but it is close so that's good enough to release since they did "In the End (Demo)" for HT20.

Unlike Lost, Fighting Myself was a step below finished, but it's the next most "complete" track with 2 verses and a chorus. According to Mike, "we had the makings of a chorus that was like 90% done, to the listener it's done". More The Victim is another demo, "More the Victim, released in a version that's basically 'the furthest we got with it, in terms of a demo'".

jopevc Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) I did some calculations trying to predict the released date of Fighting Myself using HT20 as a reference: She Couldn´t release date: 13th of August, 2020 In the End (demo) release date: 1st of October, 2020 HT20 release date: 9th of October, 2020 Time passed between the release of She Couldn´t and HT20: 57 days In the End (demo) was released 49 days after She Couldn´t. That represents 85.96% of the total time between the release of She Couldn´t and HT20 ------------------------------------------------------------ Lost released date: 10th of February, 2023 Meteora20 release date: 7th of April, 2023 Time between the release of Lost and the release date of Meteora20: 56 days 85.96% of 56 days is 48.14, so 48/49 days after Lost. That date is the 30th or 31st of March, wich is a thursday and a friday. So, if this is correct, the release date of Fighting Myself will probably be the 31st of March Edit: If Fighting Myself is the next single, we still don´t know that Edited February 12, 2023 by jopevc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) I appreciate how much effort was clearly put into that, and I’m not downplaying it at all, but I really doubt Warner will be doing that kind of math. I don’t think they have a set equation like that to determine when to release promotional singles from upcoming releases. Not to mention I doubt they would release a promotional single 7 days before the full release. IF Fighting Myself is released as a single ahead of the boxset, I would honestly guess it would be around mid-March. Maybe a month from now.

YRQRM0 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Kinda surprised they'd release another brand new track and not something like "Faint w demo verses" or something along the lines of In The End. I guess they really wanna keep the momentum going from Lost. Hoping for the best in terms of success for these two tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I knew someone did something similar to what I´ve done, but I didn´t remeber it was you or it was that similar. But if I "copied" your job it means you did a good job and I liked it XD. I only compared to HT20 because is the most similar thing to M20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinez Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) It was weird for me to see that the pre order for M20 started show up in some countries for example on iTunes, while in some other stores appeared in a bit later time, even almost 24 hours later, now I know why. Don't know if you have seen my site yesterday/today, but there are now listed 3 M20 albums. I found out that the streaming platforms/digital stores will have two separate versions of the album, currently the only difference I know is just a different barcode, but that means that the info and audio files have to be delivered to two version of the albums. It is a possible that this another version of it is contrlolled by another branch of Warner. Don't know, I will say maybe. So, taking into account the similar situation that happened with other albums in the past, the info about the tracks in two different albums (in albums that have two different barcodes) can be delivered at different perioud of time and those two versions can received two different infos. One of that store is Qobuz it received the album with different barcode. While iTunes and some other stores already received the info about the track "Fighting Myself" the qobuz also received some details about the "More The Victim" track.

March 3rd would make sense because no Meteora singles was released on March (well, Lying From You was released as promotional single on March 16, 2004).

"Somewhere I Belong" was debuted live on February 23rd, 2003, but it was released as the lead single for Meteora on March 17th, 2003, 7 days before Meteora was released, according to it's Linkinpedia page.

solidss Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Good to know March 3rd was confirmed for “Fighting Myself” to be released. I was wondering why the timestamp showed up in Apple Music. Can’t wait to hear the clean full track without all the talking through it.
