Lyrics:
It's pouring in
You’re laid on the floor again
One knock at the door and then
We both know how the story ends
You can’t win if your white flag’s out when the war begins
Aiming so high but swinging so low
Trying to catch fire but feeling so cold
Hold it inside and hope it won’t show
I’m saying it’s not but inside I know

Today’s gonna be the day you notice
Cause I’m tired of explaining what the joke is

This is what you asked for
Heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise
Ashes raining down
Try to hold it in but
It keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for
Heavy is the
Heavy is the crown

Turn to run
Now look what it's become
Outnumbered ten to one
Back then should've bit your tongue
'Cause there’s no turning back this path once it’s begun
You’re already on that list
Say you don’t want what you can't resist
Waving that sword when the pen won’t miss
Watch it all falling apart like this

This is what you asked for
Heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise
Ashes raining down
Try to hold it in but it
It keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for
Heavy is the
Heavy is the crown

Today’s gonna be the day you notice
Cause I’m tired of explaining what the joke is

THIS IS WHAT YOU ASKED FOR
This is what you asked for
Heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise
Ashes raining down
Try to hold it in but it
It keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for
Heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
Heavy is the crown
Heavy is the
Heavy is the crown

17sec scream "this is what you asked for"

shivers been sent.

[chloec]

You know a song is a banger when you listen to it the first time and think "this is way too short" let me listen to that again 20 times in a row...

[RevokLT]

The Rap, The heavy guitars, The bass, the melody, Mr.Han, the Scream...This is exactly what Linkin Park is!!!

[imamulmuttaqin]

I used to be a fan, but after hearing this masterpiece, I'm a whole air conditioner

[iain]

The Internet: "yeah but can she really scream?"
Emily: " THIS IS WHAT YOU ASKED

[Valle]

2 Songs - 2 absolute bangers. Gotta love it..

[Toxitronus]

Please forgive me for doubting... Linkin Park's revival is beautiful. Changed my mind, Emily is the perfect fit for LP.

[Dybluh]

Yall can tell me what yall want: Emily is a great addition to the band and is DEFINITELY capable of shaping a new era of Linkin Park 🔥

[XpandYourImagi-Nation]

NEVER expected Emily to give us a 17-second scream like Chester did on Given Up. That shocked me. Mike's bars are elite form here. Loving it.

[absiddique]

"That scream on the line 'This is what you asked for' says so much. To me it's a massive 'well you wanted heavy so here it is. We are literally giving you what you asked for'."

[ennuiblake]

Hard to believe how incredible her live performance was, especially now that we’ve heard the studio version. She’s truly making Chester proud.

[MegaKinking]

My dad Kill himself 10 years ago, and today we still struggle with it. These kind of wounds are really hard and slow to heal... So, to see Linkin Park rising after all these years, their fight for their band to keep going despite all the heavy burden that is their trauma... it fill me with joy and almost make me wanna cry. I can't wait to see them live and be part of their new journey.

[lucasalmeida]

I'm not going to be a hypocrite, when it was announced that Emily was joining the band, I was disappointed, it would never be on par with Chester, until I heard this song, I think everyone who thought the same way as me were root Linkin Park fans, still hurt by the lack of Chester, his legacy. Congratulations to Emily for making me realize that no one will ever be like Chester, but his legacy is in good hands and Emily doesn't need to be like him, but honor what he did and wanted her own journey, chase an even bigger one. The crown is heavy, it is difficult to feel the weight of being the best. My biggest congratulations to the band and thanks to Emily for bringing back the essence of Linkin Park.

2017- “WHY IS EVERYTHING SO HEAVY?”
2024- “HEAVY IS THE CROWN”
WHAT AN EVOLUTION 🙌

[craigStossel_]

This new singer is incredible. She’s unique but also captures the original Linkin Park sound. I can’t wait to listen to the full album!

[yesmeilyrodriguez]

proving that she cannot replace Chester, but that she is perfect to continue his legacy

[TheBvfnbv]

I am 45 years old, 20 years later and you start to feel something that you have forgot but was always there, thank you LP, thank you Emily

[davidroman]

"This is what you ask for" in the form of a Chester-like extended sing scream... ridiculously clever and perfectly executed! Dope song!

[ZJoshuaZBarberZ]

2:20 Those sounds at the end of every Linkin Park song will never get old 😌

[apurvavskr]

Emily's voice gives me goosebumps, just the way Chester's voice did. Big shoes have been successfully filled.
