AllMusic[3]

"Just Like You" is a single by Canadian rock band Three Days Grace. It was the second single from their eponymous debut album. In 2004, the song became their first number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.[4] Despite peaking at number one on both charts, it still did not capture the popularity and pop radio success of their prior single, "I Hate Everything About You", which had peaked at numbers two and number four, respectively, but overall having more airplay on mainstream rock, active rock, and modern rock radio stations than "Just Like You". However, both songs peaked at the same position (number 55) on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song earned a nomination at the 2005 Radio Music Awards for "Song of the Year: Rock Radio".[5]

Background and meaning

Adam Gontier reflected on the meaning behind the song; he said:

"It's about being told how to live your life. When we were growing up, we saw it sort of first hand. A lot of our friends were pushed into doing jobs their parents were telling them to do. It's about being pushed around and told how to live your life and standing up for yourself."[6]

In May 2006, the single won a BDS Spin Award based on the 200,000 spins it received.[7] A mash up to the song called, "Just Like Wylin'" was released in 2005 with American rapper Bone Crusher. The song was featured in the XXX: State of the Union soundtrack.[8]

Music video

The original music video for "Just Like You" was shot in Toronto, Ontario in September 2003 and was supposed to be released later that month.[9] The video was directed by Kurt St. Thomas and was shot in black and white without using black and white film. Speaking about the original concept of the video, drummer Neil Sanderson stated, "It's a schizophrenic theme. This girl has this doppelganger, this evil twin kinda thing, which represents schizophrenia, and we see the girl wrestling with herself. She arguing with herself in her own head."[9]

However, the original concept was scrapped and the band recorded a different version of the video. The official music video for "Just Like You" was directed by Scott Winig and was released in 2004.[10] The video features the band playing behind a two-way mirror and shows statue-like people wearing jumpsuits and identical looking masks covering their entire faces, making everyone look like one another.[11] It is the first music video to feature Barry Stock performing with the band.
