"Switchback" is an electronic rock song by Celldweller. Like other Celldweller tracks, Switchback has been licensed for media usage.[1]

Overview

Background

Klayton has described Switchback as the "most expensive song I've ever shelved", having recorded more than 50 demos for three years.[2] $11,500 was spent on recording and mixing an early version (dubbed the "Detroit 2000" mix on The Beta Cessions release) which eventually got scrapped.[3] Switchback was the last track to be recorded and mixed for the album.[3]

Music Video

The music video was produced, edited and directed by Klayton himself and was shot on location at The High Street House.[4] Klayton had described the "Gray Girl" as his "mirror image", stating, "she was like an alter ego or a version of me in a perverted form".[4] A majority of the footage that was shot did not "translate" into the vision Klayton had and as a result, the original storyline for the video was scrapped and became something that Klayton "did not want", having described the video as, "a bunch of guys in a room lip syncing to the music".[4]
