Template:Infobox song "Wake" is the first song on Linkin Park's third studio album, Minutes To Midnight. It serves as an intro to the album as a whole,.

Background

The booklet for the limited edition version of Minutes To Midnight contained information about each track on the album. About "Wake", it said "This short song was created near the end of the album writing process. Since a great deal of the gear they were experimenting with was from the 70’s and 80’s, the band thought the drop of a turntable needle onto vinyl was the best way to start the album. The dualmeaning of the word “wake” seemed an appropriate introduction to the record."

"Wake" was performed regularly during the Minutes To Midnight cycle after it was debuted at the first show of Projekt Revolution 2007. During that tour, it opened the show in set A, and was performed after "Shadow Of The Day" in sets B and D, and after "Points Of Authority" in set C. The song stayed in those positions throughout 2007. On the 2008 European Winter tour, "Wake" opened the set in set S, and followed "Shadow Of The Day" and "Hands Held High" in sets R and T, respectively, and it maintained those positions when the band embarked on their 2008 North American Winter tour. After this tour, though, the studio version of "Wake" was dropped, and a new live version of the song dubbed "Wake 2.0" was performed starting with the secret LPU show, and was publicly debuted at the first show of the 2008 Summer European tour. On this tour, the song was played after "Reading My Eyes" in set X, "No More Sorrow" in set Y, and "Somewhere I Belong" in set Z. At the one-off show in Milton Keynes, the song was performed after "Points Of Authority". During Projekt Revolution 2008, "Wake 2.0" was played after "Points Of Authority" in set X, "No More Sorrow" in set Y, and "Somewhere I Belong" in set Z.

While not being performed during the A Thousand Suns or Living Things cycles, "Wake" was performed once in 2014 at a one-off show in Las Vegas, opening the show along with "Given Up". The song has not been performed since.
