Background

"Not Alone" was originally written for the band's third studio album Minutes to Midnight; unhappy with it, the members decided to shelve the song alongside thirty others. Upon the 2010 Haiti Earthquake which resulted in millions of lives affected by the tragedy, the band were motivated to revisit and finish "Not Alone" to be released as a charity single for those affected by the earthquake.^[1] "Not Alone" was released as the only single from the charity album Download to Donate for Haiti V2.0.^[2] The band's bassist Dave Farrell later visited Haiti in a humanitarian aid with the UN Foundation in April 2011.^[3]
