Start the Healing

"Start the Healing" is a song by American nu metal band Korn, released as the first single from their fourteenth studio album Requiem. The song topped Active Rock chart in mid-February.

Just like as was done with "You'll Never Find Me", the lead single from their prior album, the release of this single came alongside the revealing of the album cover for Requiem, the album's release date and its track listing, revealing "Start the Healing" to be the third track on the album.

The music video for "Start the Healing" was directed by Tim Saccenti, known for his work with Run the Jewels, Flying Lotus and Depeche Mode. 3D artist Anthony Ciannamea also assisted with visuals. The music video was leaked a day ahead of its intended release, revealing Fieldy's absence from the video. It amassed over 500,000 views within the first 24 hours of its official release.

Featuring scenes described as "ethereal" and "otherworldly", the music video is largely influenced by surrealism and body horror. The band is seen playing throughout, among the presence of humanoid entities, mutating beasts, and what appear to be aliens.

Korn had teased the release of this single earlier in the month through purchasing billboards worldwide featuring the band's logo on a gray static background, with a QR code and the song's name in the lower right quadrant. Specific sightings of billboards had been made in Camden, London, and Crowbar, Sydney. Upon scanning this QR code, mobile telephone users would be redirected to an augmented-reality Instagram filter featuring a 3D model of a hand grasping a baby's face from the top, a graphic which would be later revealed to be the focus of the Requiem album cover. This filter was also posted about by the band's associated social media accounts.

Cryptic promotional video snippets by the band heavily referenced "11:11", which would eventually turn out to be the release date of the song, as well as the symbol for infinity.

The start of the song features a gradually loudening, staccato guitar riff.
