{{about|the physical items released with the single|the song itself|Bring Me to Life}}


The Bring Me To Life single was commercially released worldwide on April 22, 2003. Prior to that—in late 2002—the song was released along with [[My Immortal]] on the [[Daredevil Soundtrack]] and received radio airplay. The soundtrack release springboarded Evanescence's music into the public's eye for the first time on an international scale. [[Wind-up Records|Wind-up]] did a fantastic job promoting the single by saturating the market with albums, images and the music video. As evident by the sheer number of single releases, this was—and still remains—Evanescence's biggest single. '''Bring Me to Life''' has been certified Gold in many countries.

From a collector's standpoint, finding most releases isn't all too difficult. It is still possible to find the standard UK single brand new in stores almost 5 years after its release. It is considered by fans to be one of the best singles because it included 2 unreleased songs ([[Farther Away]] and [[Missing]]) along with a significantly different version of the title track. This single also saw the ''only'' release in a Cassette format for a non-Asian country.

The cover image is actually 3 photos combined, all by Frank Veronsky. The leftmost photo is the same as the back of [[Fallen]], the center is Fallen's cover and the right image is the photo from the back page of Fallen's booklet. The black 'Daredevil' releases also feature a three-photo collage with [[Ben Moody|Ben]], [[Amy Lee|Amy]] and [[David Hodges|David]] in the only promotional photo that the band released pre-fallen since [[Origin]]. The photo is uncredited.

This article is about the physical items released with the single. For the song itself, see Bring Me to Life.

The "Bring Me to Life" single was commercially released worldwide on April 22, 2003.[1] Prior to that—in late 2002—the song was released along with "My Immortal" on the Daredevil soundtrack and received radio airplay. The soundtrack release springboarded Evanescence's music into the public's eye for the first time on an international scale. Wind-up did a fantastic job promoting the single by saturating the market with albums, images and the music video. As evident by the sheer number of single releases, this was—and still remains—Evanescence's biggest single. "Bring Me to Life" has been certified Gold and Platinum in many countries.[2][3][4]

From a collector's standpoint, finding most releases isn't all too difficult. It is still possible to find the standard UK single brand new in stores almost 5 years after its release. This single saw the only release in a cassette format for a non-Asian country.

The cover image is actually 3 photos combined, all by Frank Veronsky. The leftmost photo is the same as the back of Fallen, the center is Fallen's cover and the right image is the photo from the back page of Fallen's booklet. The black Daredevil releases also feature a three-photo collage with Ben, Amy and David in the only promotional photo that the band released pre-Fallen since Origin. The photo is uncredited.

  • It also features track information as well as a short synopsis of the movie Daredevil featuring sections about the story, the cast and "The New Hero".
