Halestorm turned "Freak Like Me" loose in January 2013, the third single lifted from The Strange Case Of..., their second album, and by April it had climbed to the top of Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Lzzy Hale sings it and wrote it with Johnny Lee Andrews and Rob Graves; Howard Benson produced, Mike Plotnikoff recorded and Chris Lord-Alge mixed. Loudwire's Liz Ramanand called it "a straight up anthem for misfits" and praised Hale's voice along with the sleazy riffs, crashing cymbals and deep bass, and the site later ranked it third among the band's best songs.
Rob Fenn's video, out that February, is a thank-you note to the fans: a montage of the band's 2012 travels, backstage footage and shows from clubs to open-air festival stages, capping a year in which, Hale said, so many of their dreams came true.
