Background
The band began working on 'Casualty' rather late into the From Zero sessions. At this point in the band's return, Brad was still hesitant to return to the studio and begin working on music again, even though he knew that sessions were happening between Mike, Dave, Joe, Emily, and Colin. They kept the door open for him, not pressuring him to join back but also expressing the value in his perspective. Once he finally entered the studio, he was fully on board and, according to Mike, said "I think we can write something heavier. Like, way heavier."[1]
Emily wrote the lines in the chorus, surprising Mike with the intensity of her delivery. Emily said she took inspiration from her live performances with Dead Sara when performing on the track.

Speaking to press in Asia in September 2024, Emily Armstrong said she wanted to perform 'Two Faced,' 'Casualty,' and 'Overflow' live, saying "Those three, I think, were the ones we've kinda been talking about... like, really wanting to explore live. I think we're gonna do some rehearsals when we get home and, you know, put it into our live set."[2]
'Casualty' received its world premiere at Linkin Park's show on November 8, 2024 in Arlington, Texas.[3] Mike addressed the crowd before the song, saying, "Earlier, I kind of fibbed and said we had one surprise for you tonight [that surprise being the live debut of 'All For Nothing' with Page Hamilton], that wasn't exactly true. We do have a second surprise for you tonight, because you get to find out - Dallas gets to find out what happens when Em puts her screamy pants on." Emily responded, "I'm so shy," before launching straight into the song. The band extended the bridge to the song, with Mike once again speaking the crowd: "If ever there was ever a time at a Linkin Park show to show us the biggest pit that you can... Some of you motherfuckers haven't been in a pit in like ten years! Don't you miss it? You gonna show us you still got it?"
