The Story behind Linkin Park's "Breaking The Habit"

Breaking The Habit was actually a song Mike was trying to write, but the lyrics were either too cheesy or too dark and melancholy. He finished it, and it became about a drug addiction. Unfortunately, Chester had only just come out of rehab for his coke addiction and broke down crying whenever he sang it. This was at the time of Hybrid Theory. The band put it to one side.

When they came to making Meteora, they made an instrumental track, which was 10 minutes long and in 6/8, but they didn't like it. They convinced Mike to turn it into a full song, with verses and choruses. Mike found the lyrics for the song they had put aside, and they fit almost perfect. Chester had grown more out of his addiction, and could perform it without crying.

And so you have the history of 'Breaking The Habit'.

It is based upon a close friend's drug addiction.

Chester had some drug problems in his past, so he can really relate to the song.
