[7] The song's music video was directed by Joe Hahn and premiered on July 31, 2007, on MTV Germany.

Although "Leave Out All The Rest" (the track before it) features footsteps and an opening door that segues into "Bleed It Out", it was omitted for the music video.

The video was filmed and then reversed (in what appears to be one continuous shot), although green screens were used to make it look like the band was still playing regularly.

Warner Bros. Records released a live video of "Bleed it Out" exclusively on their YouTube channel.

However, other users have uploaded the same performance but some may have been captured from networks like NBC and MSN, which may have the lyrics uncensored.

As of June 2014, "Bleed It Out" has sold over 1,920,000 copies in the US, making it the band's 7th highest selling single of all time in the US.
