"Failure" is a song by American rock band Breaking Benjamin. The song was released on March 23, 2015, as the lead single off of the band's fifth studio album, Dark Before Dawn. The track marks the band's first release since the start of an extended hiatus entered upon in mid-2010, and is also the first recording to feature a different lineup alongside singer, writer, and guitarist Benjamin Burnley.

Music

Loudwire stated the song is "stylistically true" to the band's past content,[1] and Moargeek said "the song features the band’s signature sound of metal-driven riffs coupled with soft hooks that maintain its angst-filled energy."[2]

Release

On March 12, 2015, Breaking Benjamin released a 15-second teaser of "Failure",[3] though its name was not confirmed until March 18, when it was formally announced via K-SHE '95.[4] On March 23, it became available as an automatic download with the pre-order of Dark Before Dawn,[5] but was also dispersed via rock radio and other media.[4]
