I Disappear is a song by the heavy metal band Metallica. The song was recorded as a contribution to the Mission: Impossible II Soundtrack.

It's a regular Metallica song, in the key of Eb minor, with lots of power chords, James Hetfield's unique singing-style and use of the Wah-wah pedal by the guitarist Kirk Hammet.

The discovery of the song in early 2000 on the P2P file-sharing network Napster helped bring the illegal sharing of mp3 files to the spotlight, leading to the massive lawsuits that eventually brought down the original incarnation of Napster.

The video to the song features members from Metallica in scenes similar to that of Mission Impossible.

This is Metallica's last studio release featuring bassist Jason Newsted, who left the following year.
