"Digital Bath" features a variety of effects and sampling.[2] The verse is composed of echoed guitar chords and soothing, whispered vocals. The song also features a high vocal pitch from Chino Moreno virtually unheard in other Deftones material. Moreno stated that despite the "prettiness" of the song, it's actually about "electrocuting a girl in a bathtub".[3][4]
A music video for the song was directed by Andrew Bennett. The video features live footage of the band intercut with segments of a woman entering a bathtub and the band performing at a rehearsal space. "Digital Bath" was performed live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on February 9, 2001.

English mathcore band Rolo Tomassi did a cover version for the Kerrang! compilation album Kerrang! Ultimate Rock Heroes!, released in June 2015.[7]
Brandon Smith of The Anix did a cover for his 7th studio album, Hologram.[8]
"Digital Bath," "Knife Party," and "Change" are all defined by the ghostly samples in the background that perfectly matched Chino's vocals and the wonderful harmonic phrasing on those songs.
