"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. A source for both uses of the name is potentially the film Pumpkinhead, which features a sign using the phrase. Reznor and company noted the influence of horror cinema on previous works, adding to the likeliness of this source.

The song was also used by Coil with Black Sun Productions on a track entitled "All This Has Always To Be Filmed.
