LINKIN PARK's future remains uncertain, but Mike Shinoda has just revealed the name of one unreleased song that was recorded with Chester Bennington during the One More Light sessions. Still, it will likely be a long time before we ever get to hear "Friendly Fire."
 
Shinoda has been active on his Twitch channel lately as fans can engage with him while he does things ranging from playing the Animal Crossing video game to recording new music. It's an ideal time for fans to spring questions on the LINKIN PARK co-vocalist and, last week, Shinoda discussed unreleased LINKIN PARK material.
 
"There was a song — a One More Light song that... we mixed more [songs] than [are present on] the finished album and we mixed a couple other songs just to see if one of them would make the cut or whatever — if we could use it for a B-side and it was 'Friendly Fire,'" Shinoda disclosed in a video shared by a LINKIN PARK fan page.
 
Shinoda mentioned the track was co-written with Jon Green, who collaborated with the group on 2017's One More Light album, which proved to be the final record with singer Chester Bennington before his tragic death by suicide in July later that year. Guitarist Brad Delson was also in on the writing process for that track.
 
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that "Friendly Fire" will be shared any time soon. "You literally are going to have to wait years to hear that song, fyi," said Shinoda at the tail of the video clip.
