My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: The final single from LP to be released during Chester Bennington's lifetime and a major departure from LP's old sound. The song features Chester and female singer "Kiiara" doing basically a duet talking about self struggles and troubles in their life.
Kiiara would join the remaining members of LP and perform the song during Chester Bennington's memorial concert.
Song Facts:
"Heavy" is a song by American rock band Linkin Park, featuring guest vocals from American singer Kiiara. The song is the first single from their seventh studio album, One More Light. The song was written by Linkin Park members Chester Bennington, Brad Delson, and Mike Shinoda, alongside Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter. The single was released for download on February 16, 2017, and was premiered on radio on February 21. It is the band's last single to be released during Bennington's lifetime.
Lyrically, the inspiration for "Heavy" came from band member's conversations about frustrations and troubles in their own lives.
From that, they found that there was some heavy stuff happening in each other's lives. Bennington stated that personally, he has a hard time with life, even on a good day. He said the opening line "I don't like my mind right now" is him 24 hours a day.
In an interview with Music Choice, Bennington said of the song: "Most of my problems are problems that I cause myself. That's what that song's about -- that time when you consciously look at that. Once you acknowledge what it is, you can separate yourself from it and do something about it, as opposed to just being in it.
The band was introduced to Kiiara through Zane Lowe, who, upon interviewing her, was informed that Linkin Park was her favorite band.
Lowe reached out to vocalist Shinoda, who was intrigued considering how different Kiiara's music, like her single "Gold", was from Linkin Park's previous works. Zane put Shinoda in contact with Kiiara, and the band ended up deciding to work with her. Kiiara only recorded vocals for the song, as the lyrics and music had already been written prior to her involvement. Music producers Emily Wright and Andrew Bolooki handled vocal production.
The band approved of the overall sound, with Shinoda noting that adding the female voice brought more meaning to the song, signaling that it is not just about one person's struggle.
"Heavy" was performed by the remaining members of Linkin Park with guests Kiiara and Julia Michaels during the 'Linkin Park and Friends: Celebrate Life in Honor of Chester Bennington' tribute concert on October 27, 2017.
As of May 2022, the song has 185 million views on YouTube.
