"You'll Never Find Me" is a song by American nu metal band Korn, released as the lead single from their thirteenth studio album The Nothing.
Background[]
The initial working title of the song, Smog Check, was due to the day of its recording coinciding with a car mechanic appointment with guitarist Brian Welch.[1]
The official visualizer, released on YouTube the day after its release,[2] features a hanging, pulsating anthropomorphic structure composed of black wires,[3] which also features on the album's artwork. The visualizer was produced by Chris Schoenman.[4]
A music video, described by NME as "chilling" and "bleak",[5] was later released on July 17th. This video, directed by Andzej Gavriss, features the band performing in a desert landscape[6] interspersed with an "intriguing narrative" of a form of experimentation.[6]
Along with the single was revealed the release date of The Nothing, its track listing, and commentary from Davis regarding the title of the album.
Composition[]
You'll Never Find Me has been described be Revolver Magazine as containing "a bulky, staccato riff" characteristic of Korn's other songs, and a "vertically leaping repeating groove".[7] It has also been described as reminiscent form songs from their prior albums Untouchables and Take a Look in the Mirror,[8] with the songs Break Some Off and Bottled Up Inside highlighted specifically due to the similarity in pre-chorus buildup between the three.[8] The ending of the song has been compared to that of their iconic 1994 song Daddy.[8]
