This song was a big hit for the band, it was released off of the bands Sophomore album titled, We Are Not Alone. This album was released on June 29, 2004.  The song So Cold reached number 2 on the United States Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.

Breaking Benjamin - Sooner Or Later.



Sooner Or Later reached number 2 on the Mainstream Rock Charts.


Another song that had a fair amount of popularity for the band was titled Rain although the band had not recorded a music video for the song, and didn't reach a high number on any of the charts, it was certainly a big hit among the bands loyal fans. Sooner Or Later and Rain were written by Benjamin himself, but also had a co-writer which was Billy Corgan of the band The Smashing Pumpkins.

August-September of 2004, the bands member, Jeremy Hummel was unable to play with the band due to the birth of his child, so the band granted him a leave of absence. This ran into an issue for the band as they did not pay him while he took off. He was also not paid for the recording of their current album. When he returned to the band in September, he was fired, so he took the band to court. After the firing, the band had hired a temporary replacement and brought in Ben "B.C." Vaught until they hired Chad Szeliga in 2004.

We Are Not Alone achieved Platinum Status in mid-2005.
