}}'''"We're In This Together"''' is the fifth track on the Left disc of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' It was also released as a [[We're In This Together (halo)|single]], receiving the designation of Halo 15. According to [[Keith Hillebrandt]], the "whole song started from something (Reznor) actually played at the end of another track. He wrote it up into an entirely new song." [http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xart78.shtml] [[Trent Reznor]] commented on the creation of the song in a VIVA 2 Magazine interview:<blockquote>"When I wrote that song it was one of the last songs for the record. I like the obviousness of the track but I was fearful of the obviousness of the track and in a record that I think is pretty dense and somewhat challenging to get through, I didn't want a song that was too obviously the hit single. Of all the tracks on that album I think that was the hardest to arrange and mix, because if it was mixed poorly, it sounded too obvious in the context of the record, and at this point we were very aware of the context of the record. So what I learned from the process of doing that was the vocal track I would have thrown out that was out of tune and my voice was breaking up was the one that I needed to use, because it added a desperation that made the whole mood of the song feel right."[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xint52.shtml]</blockquote>

According to [[Keith Hillebrandt]], the "whole song started from something (Reznor) actually played at the end of another track. He wrote it up into an entirely new song." [http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/xart78.shtml] The lyrics may be inspired by "Heroes" by [[David Bowie]].

==Music Video==
[[Image:WITTstill.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from the "We're In This Together" video]]
The [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music video ]] for this song first aired in 1999, and was directed by [[Mark Pellington]]. It shows [[Trent Reznor]] and an army of black-clad people running frantically through empty buildings, streets, and eventually a desolate field where everyone except Reznor had disappeared. The video was filmed on location in Guadalajara, Mexico. Two different edits of the video were made: the version released to video outlets, and an extended version edited by Mark Pellington. The extended version, clocking in at nearly 8 minutes, also features an extended intro unique to the video.
On the meaning of the music video, Reznor states in the aforementioned VIVA 2 interview:
==Live==
Although "We're In This Together" is was released as a single, it was not performed live until the [[Performance 2007]] tour. This song is performed in a lower key, presumably due to the vocal strain required to sing it as it appears in the album.
The song debuted at on [[2007/02/11 Lisbon, Portugal|February 11, 2007 in Lisbon, Portugal]], and was played at (at least) three other showsthroughout the European spring leg. It has not been performed since.
