Placebo pulled "Every You Every Me" off their second album, Without You I'm Nothing, as its third single in January 1999, and it's the band at their most wired and wide-eyed. Brian Molko wrote the words with Paul Campion, the whole band gets the music credit, and Steve Osborne produced it, with Adrian Bushby engineering.
It went to number 11 in the UK and landed on the Cruel Intentions soundtrack; one of its two videos, both shot in concert at London's Brixton Academy, splices in scenes from the film. A third clip, set in a casino and filmed in November 1998, sat in the vault for 18 years. Down in Australia, Triple J listeners voted it number 83 in the Hottest 100 of All Time in 2009.
