"À Tout le Monde (Set Me Free)" is a new, faster version of "À Tout le Monde" included on Megadeth's eleventh album, "United Abominations". It is sung as a duet with Cristina Scabbia, singer of Italian metal band Lacuna Coil. The song is played in standard tuning on the guitars and bass, whereas the original version is played with all guitars tuned down a half step.

This is the first single released from the album with a new music video made for it. The song has the revised title "À Tout le Monde (Set Me Free)" to distinguish it from the original.

On June 11, 2007, the video for the single won its 16th victory in the context of the one-on-one video show, "L'Ultime Combat des Clips", aired Monday to Thursday on the French-Canadian music channel, Musique Plus. Winning sixteen consecutive times earned them a star in the show's "hall of fame."

Despite the accolades, both the original music video for "À Tout le Monde" and its remake have been banned by MTV, possibly for lyrical content that they deem to be pertaining to committing suicide.
