About Won't Back Down

"Won't Back Down" is a song performed by American rock band Fuel. Written by guitarist Carl Bell, the song was originally released as the lead single for the 2003 film soundtrack Daredevil: The Album. Eventually, another version of the song would be included on Fuel's third album later that year, Natural Selection. It was titled, "Won't Back Down (Bring You Hell remix)." "Won't Back Down" is more industrial sounding than the rest of the band's catalog, which is partially due to the nature of the film, and also due to Bell having less than a week to write the song to meet Fox studios' deadline in order make the film and soundtrack. It is the first song played in the credits of the movie.

I know what darkness means
(And the void you learned from me)
The isolation steams
(So I think it wants to bleed)

The echoes in my brain
(All the things you said to me)
You took my everything
Now I'm coming for you

I won't back down, I will not fail
I've come to bring you down
I live again things you did
I've come to bring you down

The shadows that you see
(In the places that you sleep)
Are memories of me
(Better pray your soul to keep)

The truth behind your eyes
(You know the thing you never see)
Your darkest little lies
I'm coming for you!

I won't back down, I will not fail
I've come to bring you down
I live again things you did
I've come to bring you down

All the scars that never heal
All the wounds that will not heal
I will not forget the day
These memories never fall

I won't back down, I will not fail
I've come to bring you down
I live again things you did
I've come to bring you down

I've come to bring you in
I've come to bring you down
I've come to bring you down
I've come to bring you down
I've come to bring you down
