La volontà di coinvolgere maggiormente i fan in questo progetto aveva spinto inizialmente Shinoda a creare proprio attraverso Community.com un punto di ritrovo attraverso il quale essere in contatto diretto con il pubblico. A fine febbraio, Shinoda ha inviato agli iscritti alla sua community tre demo di 'Open Door' chiedendo quale preferissero. Il risultato è stato che i fan hanno scelto a pari merito tutte le tracce, facendogli prendere la decisione di unire un pezzetto di ogni demo per formare quello finale.

Il 16 marzo, infine, l'MC dei Linkin Park ha mandato un altro messaggio agli iscritti: "Saluti dalla quarantena a Los Angeles. Spero che stiate prendendo il meglio da questa situazione strana. Noi abbiamo deciso di restare in casa e la buona notizia è che sto diventando abbastanza bravo con Fortnite. Prendetevi cura di voi stessi e di chi amate" per poi andare in diretta Instagram il giorno dopo e lanciare la proposta di 'canzone partecipativa' a tutti i fan della sua musica.

Quindi, se vi sentite all'altezza, non vi resta che scaricare l'audio qui .

E iniziare a cantare. Ecco il testo di 'Open Door':

Yeah

They tell you that you should quit tryin'

You were too small and you were too young

They tell you the chance is too slim

The world is too big and you say "How come?"

I'm ready to light a new fire

Raise a new flag to cross a new sea

And if I'm ever the one in your way

Then put your head down and run right through me

[Why keep settling for so much less

Don't take what's given just demand what's next]

We're looking for an open door

Someway we didn't see before

Someway to get out of here

A plot twist that we didn't see coming

We're looking for an open door

Someway we didn't see before

And when we get out of here

We'll, no, no, no never stop running

There's something like a shadow in the valley colossal

Open up your eyes young one and be watchful

Behind closed door trying to write a new gospel

They are not God, they're not even apostles

I come with the drum drum banging you breathless

Enemies freeze / left bed and defenseless

Straight for the chest of anybody against us

The more that they resist it

The more that they tempt us

[Why keep settling for so much less

Don't take what's given just demand what's next]

We're looking for an open door

Someway we didn't see before

Someway to get out of here

A plot twist that we didn't see coming

We're looking for an open door

Someway we didn't see before

And when we get out of here

We'll take off and never stop running

No, no, we'll never stop running

When we get that open door

No, no, we'll never stop running

[So why keep settling for so much less

Don't take what's given just demand what's next]

We're looking for an open door

Someway we didn't see before

Someway to get out of here

A plot twist that we didn't see coming

We're looking for an open door

Someway we didn't see before

And when we get out of here

We'll take off and never stop running

No, no, we'll never stop running

When we get that open door

No, no, we'll never stop running

When we get that open door

No, no, we'll never stop running
