“…if I love something I’ll let you know.”
Mike Shinoda is looking for a guest vocalist on his new song, ‘Open Door’… and if you’re lucky (and can, y’know, maybe sing a bit) it could be you.
After working on the song during an Instagram Live, he texted a MP3 version of the demo to everyone on his Community Text list – with it also available via request on text.

Pretty cool in itself. But then he posted the lyrics for the song’s chorus…
We’re looking for an open door
Something we didn’t see before
Some way to get out of here a
plot twist that we didn’t see coming
We’re looking for an open door
Something we didn’t see before
And when we get out of here we’ll
take off and never stop running https://t.co/7eRA2u69Ku— Mike Shinoda (@mikeshinoda) March 18, 2020
…And wrote, “I have an idea. I want another voice on the chorus of Open Door.”
“Maybe it can be one of you? Get the song, sing it, post a link on Twitter with the hashtag #SingOpenDoor and if I love something I’ll let you know.”

BRB, we’re warming up our voices. Here’s what the demo sounds like:
Today was a great day.
A new Mike Shinoda track “Open Door”, a 30+ minute Instagram Live of the song’s writing session, and a demo delivered to fans shortly after. https://t.co/7Zj1BpKOzg
