Where’d You Go” is a song by American hip hop ensemble Fort Minor, the side project of rock band Linkin Park’s lead vocalist Mike Shinoda. It is the fourth and final single from Fort Minor’s debut album The Rising Tied, released on April 14, 2006. The song features Skylar Grey (who at the time went by the stage name Holly Brook) and Jonah Matranga, lead singer of the rock group Far. “Where’d You Go” was written and produced by Shinoda. Lyrically, the song is from the perspective of the person left behind in long-distance relationships, and is about the consequences of putting one’s career before one’s family.

“Where’d You Go” received generally positive reviews from music critics, with most reviewers noting the song’s simplicity, as well as praising Brook’s vocals. “Where’d You Go” was Fort Minor’s most commercially successful single, peaking within the top ten of several international music charts. “Where’d You Go” also peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100and received a Platinum certification by the RIAA in 2009. A music video for the single was directed by Philip Andelman. The video featured three families, who, according to Shinoda, “share the same sense of loneliness as this song.” “Where’d You Go” was included in the set list of numerous Fort Minor concerts.

Lyric

[Hook: Skylar Grey & Jonah Matranga]
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
She said, "Some days, I feel like shit
Some days, I wanna quit and just be normal for a bit"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone
I get along, but the trips always feel so long

And I find myself trying to stay by the phone
'Cause your voice always helps me not to feel so alone
But I feel like an idiot, working my day around the call
But when I pick up, I don't have much to say

[Pre-Hook: Mike Shinoda]
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up
That I'm stuck here waiting, at times debating
Telling you that I've had it with you and your career
Me and the rest of the family here, singing "where'd you go?"

[Hook: Skylar Grey & Jonah Matranga]
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Please come back home
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Come back home, you know, the place where you used to live
Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs
Used to have a little party every Halloween
With candy by the pile, but now
You only stop by every once in a while

Shit, I find myself just filling my time
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind
I'm doing fine, and I'm I planning to keep it that way
You can call me if you find you have something to say

[Pre-Hook: Mike Shinoda]
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up
That I'm stuck here waiting, at times debating
Telling you that I've had it with you and your career
Me and the rest of the family here, singing "where'd you go?"

[Hook: Skylar Grey & Jonah Matranga]
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Please come back home

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda]
I want you to know it's a little fucked up
That I'm stuck here waiting, no longer debating
Tired of sitting and hating and making these excuses
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless

It seems one thing has been true, all along
You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone
I guess I've had it with you and your career
When you come back, I won't be here and you can sing it

[Hook: Skylar Grey & Jonah Matranga]
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Please come back home

[Outro: Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, & Jay-Z]
When you made me that initial batch of songs
I was like, that's the shit, right there
Alright!
