"Two Faced" is a song by American rock band Linkin Park. It was released as the fourth single from the band's eighth studio album From Zero on November 13, 2024, along with a music video.[1][2] Like "Heavy Is the Crown", it exhibits the nu metal and rap rock sound found on the band's older releases, such as Hybrid Theory and Meteora.

Composition

[edit]

"Two Faced" has been stylistically described as nu metal,[3][4][5] hard rock,[2] and rap rock.[3] The song has been noted as a "[call back]" to Hybrid Theory and Meteora, particularly being compared to "One Step Closer."[1][6] The song's themes involve betrayal and manipulation.[7]

Reception

[edit]

The song was positively received by Maria Sherman of ABC News, who described is as one of the album's "most rewarding moments."[8]

Music video

[edit]

The music video for "Two Faced" was directed by the band's turntablist Joe Hahn and was released on November 13, 2024.[9]

The video features the band performing the song in an industrial setting. Alex Harris of Neon Music described the music video as "the video depicts the band performing in a space that feels constrictive, amplifying the tension that runs throughout the track."[7]
