It was released as the fourth single from the band's eighth studio album From Zero on November 13, 2024, along with a music video.[1] [2] Like "Heavy Is the Crown", it exhibits the nu metal and rap rock sound found on the band's older releases, such as Hybrid Theory and Meteora.

Composition

"Two Faced" has been stylistically described as nu metal,[3] [4] [5] hard rock,[2] and rap rock.[3] The song has been noted as a "[call back]" to Hybrid Theory and Meteora, particularly being compared to "One Step Closer."[1] [6] The song's themes involve betrayal and manipulation.[7]

Reception

The song was positively received by Maria Sherman of ABC News, who described is as one of the album's "most rewarding moments."[8]

Music video

The music video for "Two Faced" was directed by the band's turntablist Joe Hahn and was released on November 13, 2024.[9]

The video features the band performing the song in an industrial setting. Alex Harris of Neon Music described the music video as "the video depicts the band performing in a space that feels constrictive, amplifying the tension that runs throughout the track."[7]
