"Leaving Hope" is the final song of The Fragile era, closing off Still. The piece shares its name with Trent Reznor's former music publishing entity.

In December 2005, Reznor granted a gratis license to an advertising agency to use the song in a public service announcement to promote a mental health hotline for those affected by Hurricane Katrina. The song was also used by Coil with Black Sun Productions on a track entitled "All This Has Always To Be Filmed.
