Where'd you go

"Where'd You Go" is a song by American hip hop ensemble Fort Minor, the side project of rock band Linkin Park's co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda. It is the fourth and final single from Fort Minor's debut album The Rising Tied, released on April 14, 2006. The song features Skylar Grey (then known as Holly Brook) and Jonah Matranga. "Where'd You Go" was written and produced by Shinoda. Lyrically, the song is from the perspective of the person left behind in long-distance relationships, and is about the consequences of putting one's career before one's family.

on the DVD of the special edition of The Rising Tied, Mike says a thing or two about the song. He says that there’s a lot of songs from the point of view of those who go on tour, missing their loved ones back home, but not many from the position of those left behind, who feel frustrated and underappreciated, like they’re second best after the person’s career. This song is from the point of view of those left behind.
