Contents

Background

"Me Myself and I" was written by members of the band, Jon Bellion, Jason Evigan and Pete Nappi. It was produced by Bellion, Evigan and Nappi. Speaking to Rolling Stone Australia about the song, lead singer Luke Hemmings said;

"'Me, Myself, and I' is a really exciting song for us to have on the record that we've spent the last two years making. We're all big fans of Jon Bellion and when he sent us the idea, we instantly connected with it. So much of what we had been writing lyrically was extremely introspective and this song fit like a puzzle piece with the rest of the album." [1]

According to Hemmings, the song is about "the emotional cycle of feeling like you can do everything on your own and that you don't need anyone else, but eventually realizing that sometimes you push away the best things in your life." [1] The group performed the song live at Good Morning America. [4]

Reception

The song has been described as a "propulsive break-up anthem". [2] NME called it "an airy, atmospheric soundscape filled with jaunty strummed guitars, ultra-crisp percussion and layered lead vocals primed for singalongs." [5]

Music video

The music video for "Me Myself & I" was released on 13 May 2022 and was directed by Harry Law. [6] The video draws inspiration from "classic pop rock 90's/early 00's music videos such as Oasis, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The All-American Rejects". The video showcases the band performing in a dimly lit warehouse and camera cuts around the different personalities of each band member to reflect stripping back of layers as they confront their reflective consciousness.
