"Because of You" rolled off The Long Road, Nickelback's 2003 album, as its fourth single in September 2004, following "Feelin' Way Too Damn Good" out the door on Roadrunner. Chad Kroeger wrote the lyrics and sings it, sharing the music credit with Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and Ryan Vikedal.
Chad Kroeger and Peake handle the electric guitars, Mike Kroeger plays bass and Vikedal drums, and Mike and Peake stack up the backing vocals behind the lead. Joey Moi produced it with the band and engineered it, Randy Staub mixed it, and the whole thing comes out as heavy, arena-sized alternative metal with the corners sanded smooth for radio. It also turned up on the MX vs. ATV Unleashed soundtrack.
