Template:Infobox single

"Crossing A Line" is the first single by Mike Shinoda. The song had its premiere at 106.7 KROQ FM's Kevin & Bean Show at 7 AM PT.[1]

Background

In late February 2018, Mike Shinoda started posting various photos and videos of himself, Brad Delson and Ethan Mates at The Village Studios in Los Angeles, which started speculation about new solo music from Mike being on the way.[2] He confirmed this at the shooting for the "Crossing A Line" music video, saying, "I love to make art and I love to make music, and one reason I get to do that is because of you guys. I am just really, really grateful for that. [...] I have been writing songs in the moment. As I went on, not every song was a sad song. And they've been about a lot of things. I've started to put them together and it looks like it'll be an album. It isn't an album about grief, but it starts there."[3][4]

Music Video

On March 8, 2018, Mike Shinoda announced on Twitter he was in Los Angeles shooting a new music video and invited fans to meet him outside of Tower Records at 8:30 to be a part of the video.[5][6][7] Once there, he requested fans to turn their phones off and played "Crossing A Line" twice via Bluetooth speaker. He said the song would not be heard for a while as he was still making the music and asked everyone to keep the song title a secret. The video shoot was impromptu and was done spur of the moment. Later in the night he went to The Roxy to shoot more footage.[3][4]

They'll tell you that I don't care anymore
And I hope you'll know that's a lie
Cause I found what I have been waiting for
But to get there means crossing the line
