I.V. (song)

I.V. is a song by the American rock band Linkin Park, featuring Mike Shinoda and guest vocals from Mike's father. It is the eighth track on their seventh studio album, One More Light, released in 2017. The song is an instrumental piece, predominantly featuring piano and string arrangements. "I.V." stands for "Instrumental Version." The track is a somber and reflective interlude on the album, providing a moment of respite from the more upbeat and pop-influenced sounds of other songs on One More Light. The use of strings contributes to the emotional weight of the composition, often interpreted as expressing themes of loss and vulnerability present in the album's broader context.
