"Starting Over" is the second single by the American metalcore band Killswitch Engage from their fifth album Killswitch Engage.[1]

Background

In a 2009 interview bass player Mike D'Antonio commented on the song stating "It’s not your typical Killswitch but it does have that Killswitch feel. It was a song that we felt was strong. Whether it was the initial single or not, a little surprised, but that was a song that our drummer pretty much wrote entirely and it was the only one that made it on the record that he wrote. He was really excited about it."[2]

Music video

The song's music video is directed by frequent collaborator Lex Halaby.[3][4]
