background
The band initially disagreed about the song title. James Hetfield found it too long, but Lars Ulrich was "very persistent" with it.
On March 19, 2009 the band announced on their website that Broken, Beat & Scarred would be the next single. The new video was presented on March 26th. It shows the band live on the Death Magnetic tour. Director Wayne Isham had worked for the band several times, for example on the DVD Cunning Stunts .
In Southeast Asia , Australia and New Zealand the single was partially delivered with a faulty booklet. The band announced that no one from the band had checked the artwork there and called the version a "collector's item".
content
The text of the song, which was written by James Hetfield, is based on a well-known quote from Friedrich Nietzsche with the line “ What don't kill you make you more strong ” : “What doesn't kill me makes me stronger”. It comes from the work Götzen-Twilight or How to philosophize with the hammer from 1889.
