"In Vain" is the fourth single from Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation's seventh studio album Resist. It was released worldwide via digital download and streaming on 11 January 2019.[1][2]
"In Vain" is a power ballad song written for the band's seventh studio album Resist.[3] The track features a "down-to-earth" production[3] and uses "softer rock stylings" and "emotionally driven lyrics" in order to achieve the new direction the band aimed for the record.[2][4] The song was released as the fourth single from the album and accompanied a lyric video.[1] Differently from the previous singles, which were all played live before the album official release, the track only started being played on tour afterwards.[5][6] Despite not entering any official single sales chart, the song found airplay rotation in selected places and managed to enter airplay charts in Belgium,[7] Czech Republic[8] and Finland, where it stayed for ten weeks.[9]
