"Every You Every Me" is a song by British alternative rock band Placebo,released as the third single from their second album,Without You I'm Nothing,on 25 January 1999. It was released as a 2-CD set and on cassette,but promotional copies on 12-inch vinyl exist. The single managed to chart at number 46 in Australia,number 99 in Germany,and number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. There are two versions of the video,both filmed live at London's Brixton Academy;one includes clips from the film Cruel Intentions.[2][3] An alternative video taking place at a casino was filmed in November 1998 but would not be released until 18 years later as part of the promotion for A Place for Us to Dream.[4]
Along with the rest of the album (apart from "Pure Morning"),"Every You Every Me" was recorded in early 1998 at Real World Studios with Steve Osborne. When asked who it was about,Brian Molko replied with "Who's it about? I'm not really too sure just yet. I think it's about a lot of people. Probably anybody... everybody who's had the displeasure of sleeping with me."[8] About his choice to include it in the Cruel Intentions soundtrack,Molko said that he "studied drama,I know the original (Dangerous Liaisons) and we watched it on the tour bus when they wanted to use our song. I said:'If he doesn't die in the end,if it's a happy ending,we don't do it.' It's quite perverted and manipulative,so the theme of the song fits in quite well."[9]
