“Bring Me To Life” is the song that changed Amy Lee’s life, both personally and professionally, as that great and famous communicator would say. The singer and songwriter told the origins of her most famous work in 2016, during an interview with the Songfacts website.

It all started when Amy went to meet a guy named Josh Hartzler, who at the time was just a friend. And from that meeting, everything changed forever.

“I wrote it about my husband when we met. We weren’t dating or anything, and we only really started dating years later (…). I was in a really bad place, relationship-wise, and going through a very difficult. I didn’t know Josh very well – he was kind of a friend of a friend.

When we went to reserve a table, he sat down opposite me and looked me in the eyes and asked, ‘Are you happy?’. This shocked my heart, I looked down and started making excuses. I choked on my words because I felt like I was acting normal on the outside, but inside I was very agitated. And I felt like he could see right into my soul. That inspired the entire song. Years later, I told him that [a música] it was about him, and the rest is history,” said Amy, who married Josh in 2007. The couple has a son (named Jack Lion Hartzler), who was born in 2014.
