"My Immortal" is a song by the American rock band Evanescence from their debut album, Fallen (2003). It was released by Wind-up Records on December 8, 2003, as the album's third single, following its inclusion on the soundtrack to the film Daredevil. The song was written by singer and pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody when they were 15 years old. Several versions were recorded, with the earliest in 1997. Wind-up used the recording from their 2000 demo CD on Fallen against Lee's wishes, which featured her demo vocals and a MIDI keyboard. Strings from Daredevil composer Graeme Revell were added during the production of Fallen. The single, dubbed "band version", is the re-recording Lee and Moody made for Fallen, featuring guitar, drums and bass and a string arrangement by David Campbell. An alternative version of the song appears on the band's fourth album, Synthesis (2017).
