"Wake Up" comes from the self-titled debut album by Canadian rockers Three Days Grace, and it was the record's fourth and last single, issued in January 2005 in Canada only. It's a power ballad at a slow crawl, 77 beats a minute in A major, and it's about begging for one more shot at a relationship that has gone badly wrong.
Adam Gontier has said it came out of the band's own romantic wreckage, with the other members' string of relationships and a couple of his own feeding the song. The band also played an acoustic version on MTV in May 2004. For radio, one of its cruder lines was cleaned up.
