"Chalk Outline" is the lead single from Canadian rock band Three Days Grace's fourth album, Transit of Venus.[1] The band released many "snippets" of the song before August 14 to tease fans.[2] It reached No. 1 on the U.S. Active Rock chart for a total of 10 weeks[3] and won the "Rock Song of the Year" award given by Loudwire.[4] Billboard ranked the song at number 8 on their "Greatest of All Time Mainstream Rock Songs" list.[5]

Composition

"Chalk Outline" was written by Adam Gontier, Barry Stock and Craig Wiseman while production was handled by Don Gilmore. The song was recorded at Revolution Studios in Toronto, Canada.[6] Bassist Brad Walst spoke with Billboard about recording the track stating, "I remember sitting in the control room with [producer] Don Gilmore for hours and hours and hours, trying to figure out how to get that punchy, heavy sound out of something other than a guitar."[7]

Critical reception

The song was mostly met with positive reviews. Loudwire gave the song a 4/5 rating, saying that "Adam Gontier attacks the track with as much angst and aggression as ever."[8] Billboard calls the song, "a welcome change of pace that certainly piques interest in what else Three Days Grace gets up to on the rest of the album."[9]

Music video

"Chalk Outline" has a lyric video, which shows the lyrics of the song over a clip of a man walking around a city.[10] The band also released an official music video for "Chalk Outline" on October 5.[11] The video shows Adam Gontier walking through a city, singing and gesturing to the camera while passing the other band members on the way, culminating with the four of them meeting in a dark room, performing the song.[12][11] The video was directed by Shane Drake and was filmed in Brooklyn, New York.[11] It is the band's last music video to feature lead singer Adam Gontier, who departed the band on January 9, 2013.[13]
