Bring Me To Life was released in 2003 as Evanescence's debut single from the album Fallen, with Amy Lee trading lines with guest vocalist Paul McCoy. Its wake me up inside refrain became a defining early 2000s rock hook, later rediscovered online through edits, parodies and reaction videos. The exaggerated plea to be saved turned a sincere nu metal ballad moment into shorthand for dramatic awakenings, fandom tributes and ironic despair, keeping the chorus recognisable to listeners who may not know the full song.
