"How You Remind Me" is a hit song by Canadian rock band Nickelback, released in August 2001 as

the lead single from their album Silver Side Up. A "Gold Mix" was made for latter editions of the
single with the heavier guitars edited out of the chorus. This single would be the last rock single to
be No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 until 2008 when "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay did the same.
Lead vocalist and guitarist Chad Kroeger wrote the song about his old girlfriend Jodi, with whom he
had a dysfunctional relationship.
