NOTE: A live version is available on the "Somewhere I Belong" CD single and as an iTunes bonus track for "Reanimation".
In 2002, a remix of the song made by Mickey P. and featuring Kelli Ali, entitled "My<Dsmbr" was released on the band's official remix album for Hybrid Theory, entitled "Reanimation", and was the only Linkin Park song to feature a female vocalist until 2017 when Heavy featuring Kiiara was released. Another remix by Team Sleep was made for Reanimation but was rejected by Mike Shinoda because he thought it made the song feel even "darker". In 2003, the song was covered by Josh Groban and was made available as a bonus track on his album, "Closer".
