"Coming Undone" is a song by Korn and is featured on their seventh album, See You On the Other Side. It was released as the second single from that album on 13th March 2006.
The song entered Top 10 in both Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart and R&R Active Rock Chart, peaking at no. 4 and 3, respectively. The track is Korn's least representative yet, experimenting with hip-hop dynamics and a swelling, mid-tempo chorus, not at all like the fury of the past.
The accompanying music video was directed by Little X. Korn are performing in a desert in broad daylight. The sky shatters like glass to reveal a night sky. Then the whole background shatters, leaving a plain white background. Then suddenly, they are, literally, coming undone, and as they do, they resemble slinkies. At video's end, they are gone.
Korn and Atlanta crunk rappers, Dem Franchize Boyz did a mash-up of their two latest hit singles, "Coming Undone" and "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It", titled "Coming Undone wit It". It was produced by Jermaine Dupri and Scott Spock from The Matrix. It was first released on AOL on 28th April 2006. A video for "Coming Undone Wit It" was released on the bonus DVD for Chopped, Screwed, Live and Unglued.

The song also seems to deal with the departure of guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, in the line "Head is lighter than a feather", even though this is still unproven. The line probably refers to the two of these coming apart or undone, in this case.
