Interesting facts and trivia about I Stand Alone. By Songfacts®.

Originally released on the Scorpion King soundtrack in 2002, "I Stand Alone" was later released on Godsmack's Faceless album in 2003. Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), who starred in the movie, is in the video.

Godsmack frontman Sully Erna told Entertainment Weekly how the film opportunity came along, saying, "I had a little bit of time before we started writing the new album. And it turned out that The Scorpion King director Chuck Russell was a fan of Godsmack and wanted to use our song 'Voodoo' in the movie. Because the song was a little dated, he wanted me to redo it, and I wasn't really up for that. Instead I submitted some new music I had written 'I Stand Alone.' Once we were working together, he leaned on me a little bit to help him find some of the best up-and-coming bands."

Erna said he based the song on the movie's title character. He told MTV News on the set of the music video: "It's about him being this big, masculine badass, but he has this hidden sensitive side to him. He feels like he's isolated, and he likes to do things alone because he was hurt in the past or whatever. I don't really know why he is the way he is. I guess there's always this mystique about those people who are really tough but maybe feel a little bit lonely inside. So the lyrics are kind of based on his character - being as masculine as he can be but yet isolated and a loner."
