"'''Freak on a Leash'''" is a song by the American [[nu metal]] band [[Korn]], featured on the group's 1998 studio album, ''[[Follow the Leader (Korn album)|Follow the Leader]]''. After ''Follow the Leader''{{'}}s release, the song was released as a single on February 25, 1999, and since then, it has been re-released over ten times. The song uses dissonance, distortion, various guitar effects, and a heavy, aggressive style.<ref name="Island of Music">{{cite journal |first=Elias |last=Pampalk |year=2001 |title=Islands of music: Analysis, organization, and visualization of music archives |journal=Austrian Society for Artificial Intelligence |page=2 |citeseerx = 10.1.1.4.5107 }}</ref>

The "Freak on a Leash" music video was released on February 5, 1999. Directed by [[Todd McFarlane]] in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]], the video explores both animations and live performances mixed together. As a result, the band released a music video that won six awards and was retired from ''[[Total Request Live]]''. The single peaked at number six on the [[Alternative Songs]] chart, 10 on the [[Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks|Mainstream Rock Songs]] chart, and 24 on the [[UK Singles Chart]].

==Origins==
Following the release of ''Follow the Leader'', Korn promoted the studio album by headlining the [[Family Values Tour]] in 1998. The tour ran from September 22 until October 31. "Freak on a Leash" was the first song played on their first tour date. The original composition had a "noisy guitar break in the middle," but, after the group found out that radio stations are not fond of "noisy guitar breaks," they voted 4–1 to remove the break, with [[Jonathan Davis]] being the lone holdout. The band described the break as "the [[Biohazard (band)|Biohazard]] part."<ref name="billboard nov. 98">"Please Love Them: They're Korn", ''Billboard'', November 1998. p. 86</ref>

"Freak on a Leash" was written in 1997 and recorded in May 1998 at NRG Recording Studios in [[North Hollywood, California]].<ref>"All songs copyright 1997 except tracks 17, 20 and 24 copyright 1998" (Liner notes for ''Follow the Leader'')</ref><ref>{{cite AV media notes |title=Follow the Leader |others=[[Korn]] |year=1998 |type=CD |publisher=[[Epic Records|Epic]]/[[Immortal Records|Immortal]] }}</ref> It was released as their second single, on May 25, 1999, and is considered to be one of their most successful singles.{{fact|date=December 2022}} Since its first release in the United Kingdom, it has been released over ten times.

"Freak on a Leash" is four minutes and 15 seconds long.<ref>Erlewine, Stephen Thomas [{{AllMusic|class=album|id=r372697|pure_url=yes}} "allmusic ((( Follow the Leader > Review)))"]. ''[[Allmusic]]''.

Lloyd also noted that the song contained "fragments of English-language words," and said that they "can be perceived in the midst of Davis' gibberish". Lloyd went on to say that "Davis is giving voice to his inner basic feelings which are trying to resist being shaped or conditioned by utterances of others."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Lloyd |first1=David |year=2000 |title=Mercury Models: Distortion of Language and Identity in New Heavy Metal |publisher=Sofia |pages=3–4 |url=http://tagg.org/xpdfs/lloydbulg00.pdf }}</ref>

==Music video==
[[File:Freakonaleashstill.jpg|left|thumb|A screenshot from the "Freak on a Leash" music video]]
A music video for "Freak on a Leash" was released on February 5, 1999, and debuted on ''Total Request Live''.<ref name="Total Request Live" /> It was directed by Todd McFarlane who was assisted by [[Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris]]. The music video contains a mixture of animation and live performance footage.<ref>(1999-12-08) [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1430988/19981208/korn.jhtml "Korn To Mix Animation And Live Footage For New Video"]. MTV. Retrieved 2010-06-28</ref> Although it was expected to be released in January 1999, it was pushed back to February 1999. The video starts with an animated segment directed by McFarlane, where the children (including a cameo appearance of Korn as some of the children) playing hopscotch on a cliff the artist drew for the ''Follow the Leader'' cover are interrupted by a policeman. An accidentally-fired bullet from the policeman's gun breaks out of the animated world into the real world and wreaks much property damage while narrowly avoiding hitting people. The bullet then enters a Korn poster exactly at the break in the middle of the song and flies around the band members before Jonathan Davis shouts "Go!", signaling the end of the break, to send the bullet back the way it came until it returns to the animated world. Once back in the animated world, the girl in red (also from the album cover) catches the bullet and gives it to the policeman. The policeman stares at his hands bewildered as the camera then focuses on the loose "No Trespassing" sign; which then leads up to the follow-up video for "[[Falling Away from Me]]" featured on the band's then next album ''Issues''. The directory work was described as combining "special effects and clever camera moves in the live action portion of the video."<ref name="Total Request Live">(1999-02-04) [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1430983/19990204/korn.jhtml "Korn "Freak" Video To Debut On Friday"].
