Background
David Campbell conducted the strings for the song. Since Shinoda performed the main string loop on the keyboards, the cellists had a difficult time performing the loop. Eventually, they resorted to breaking up the phrase, in which each cellist plays one or two notes.
"Remember the Name" was leaked onto the Internet on August 20, 2005, several months prior to the album's release. The song brought positive reviews from the hip hop community. It was also planned to be the first single from The Rising Tied but this changed just before the album came onto the shelves. Eventually, "Petrified" and "Remember the Name" were released together in one vinyl, CD or digital download in October 5, 2005.
