Been to Hell is the second single by Hollywood Undead off of their album American Tragedy.
Johnny 3 Tears explained the song's meaning to Artist Direct: "It's definitely a Hollywood song. In a sense, Hollywood Undead actually represents 'Been to Hell.' Title-wise, it's about the people who come in and out of Hollywood. It's a focal point of the world for all the wrong reasons. People care more about Hollywood than they do about Washington, D.C. where laws are made, and things are dictated throughout our lives. The general public give more of a shit about what's going on here, what movies are being made, etc. People move to Hollywood hoping to advance their lives in some sense. They want to make music, or they want to become actors or actresses. Time and time again, they fail. They come here trying to realize their dreams, and they learn that isn't the way it works for everybody. I'm commenting on it from an observant standpoint seeing it for so many years. The majority of these people don't make the cut, and they usually pack their bags or look for a different life that wasn't what they dreamed of when they came there. You're a bartender, a street cleaner, or whatever the fuck you do, and it wasn't what you came here intending to do. Or, you shell off and go home. It's our observation of that lifestyle. These people get off the bus here, and things don't exactly work out how they thought. I understand it must be heartbreaking for those people. However, it's kind of a fuck you to them in the sense of saying, "What'd you think was going to happen?" That's how I think of it."
It peaked at #8 on the Billboard Rock Digital Song Sales chart and #29 on the Mainstream Rock chart.
