"Zombified" is a song written by Ronnie Radke, John Lundin, and Cody Quistad.

The music video shows Falling in Reverse fending off against zombies in a dystopian world.[6] The music video won Best of Festival - Music Video at the 2022 Richmond International Film Festival.[7]


TikTok controversy


Shortly after its release, several people expressed their discontent with the song on the short video platform known as TikTok. People complained about the line:

"Oh no, they'll never let go
Of something you said 10 years ago
They're cancelling, cancelling you
And they won't stop till everybody's zombified"

Arguing certain legal issues that Ronnie Radke had in the past, such as his involvement in a 2006 killing. Others also questioned Radke for some of his verses from other Falling in Reverse songs, like "Alone".[8]
