Skin (Breaking Benjamin song)
"Skin" is a song by the American post-grunge/alternative metal band Breaking Benjamin. It was released as the second single from the band's 2002 debut album Saturate.
Background
Although this song was not as successful as the previous single, "Polyamorous", "Skin" still managed to chart on both Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and Alternative Songs, peaking at No. 24 and No. 37, respectively.
In an interview with Rock Star Tribune, Ben stated:

Skin is a radio thing and it doesn't go over that great live. I mean, we play it good, but it's just the crowd, especially on a tour like this; we have to play our heaviest shit. So, it really doesn't fit in to that mix but it does well on the radio. It shows another side of what we can do.[1] |

Benjamin Burnley, the band's lead singer, admitted during the No Place Like Home Tour, that he disliked playing "Skin" because the band had planned to release "Medicate" as a single, but Hollywood Records insisted on releasing "Skin" first.
The song has been performed twice on live television. The first performance was aired March 14, 2003 on Last Call with Carson Daly[2] and the second was aired April 7, 2003 on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn.[3]
