Background
"Disappear" was considered by frontman Justin Pierre to be the darkest on the album, trying to capture a "crazy energy" that he felt he lacked on the band's previous effort, Even If It Kills Me (2007). Much of the group too considered it a more "evil, […] progressive" cut. The song, like album track "Delirium", drop Jesse Johnson's keyboards from the band's sound.
Release and reception
In October 2009, the band released the song as a free download on their website, with a music video online for the song on November 19, 2009.
Alternative Press considered it "dark, swirling second-wave emo recalling the best the mid-to-late '90s underground had to offer."
