According to the file's metadata, on April 8th, 2003,[1] the song was first uploaded to the music-piracy website powerwebmusic.com, which credited the song as "Lincoln Park - Rubia".[2][3]

On August 7th, 2009, the song was first uploaded to YouTube by user syplonite, who provided no information regarding the song's origins.[4]

On July 13th, 2021, user Jasink1987 would mention the song on r/NameThatSong. He was looking for a copy of the song and claimed to have originally downloaded it from Limewire,[5] a peer-to-peer file sharing service launched in 2000.[6]

The song first became popular in the Lostwave community on July 21st, 2022, when it was reuploaded by YouTube user Mysterious Voice.[7]

On July 11th, 2024, Reddit user migaja_de_pan discovered that the song sampled the drums from Philadelphia-based rapper Schoolly D's 1986 hip-hop song Saturday Night.[8][9]

On August 8th, 2024, a high quality version of the song was discovered in a collection of Linkin Park bootlegs on the peer-to-peer file-sharing network Soulseek.[10]

Spanish searchers have theorized that the song is from Spain, [11] Chile,[12] or Puerto Rico[13] because of the singer's accent and way they pronounce certain sounds.[14]
