"Leaving Hope" is the final song of The Fragile era, closing off Still. The piece shares its name with Trent Reznor's former music publishing entity.

Reznor and company noted the influence of horror cinema on previous works, adding to the likeliness of this source.
In December 2005, Reznor granted a gratis license to an advertising agency to use the song in a public service announcement to promote a mental health hotline for those affected by Hurricane Katrina. The song was also used by Coil with Black Sun Productions on a track entitled "All This Has Always To Be Filmed. The Cameraman Has To Wear A Black Leather Coat." from the album The Plastic Spider Thing: Coil Remixed.
