Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – The Album is a compilation album of various artists' music from the 2009 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The official single is "New Divide" by Linkin Park. It was rumored that Dead by Sunrise would be releasing a track called "Crawl Back In" for the soundtrack. However, Chester Bennington said he decided not to include it.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ChesterBe/status/1909121402 |title=Chester Bennington's official Twitter page |publisher=Twitter.com |date=May 24, 2009 |access-date=December 5, 2011}} Similarly, Tyrese Gibson, who plays Sgt. Epps in the movie, said that he would be in a duet track with Jewel (produced by Babyface), titled "Make It Last", which he had hoped would appear in the film's soundtrack, but ultimately did not. The album charted at #7 on the US Billboard 200 album chart.
