No title seems better suited to the surgical and emotional shenanigans that grace "Grey's Anatomy" than this track by Denver's the Fray that became a global sensation last year. Certainly, it was the one-two punch of the mournful, midtempo ballad being used in "Grey's Anatomy" and in NBC's "Scrubs" in spring 2006 that earned "How to Save a Life" (from the band's 2005 disc of the same name) attention beyond the Fray faithful. But its use in ABC promos for the series' third season and a special "Grey's" video of the song truly pushed it into national consciousness.
The song peaked at No. 3 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in the fall of last year.
