“I was shouting lines like ‘It’s not like you to say sorry’ and ‘This is how you remind me’,” he recalls, “and I was trying to be nasty, trying to put in these really sarcastic lines. Then she opened the door, and she was like: ‘What’s that? I really like it’. So it kinda defeated the object of what I was doing.
“We actually talked about it years later, and I told her I wrote the song about her, and she would not believe that she was the How You Remind Me girl.”
Kroeger maintains that he wasn’t trying to write for the masses, he was just being honest. “Before How You Remind Me, I was hiding behind metaphors, I wasn’t saying what I wanted to say. And I think when the honesty came out people appreciated it.” And he hasn’t tired of playing it. “You have to maintain perspective,” he offers.
“You have to realise that you’re not the first band to have a song like this. As soon as I get sick of playing How You Remind Me, Mick Jagger should walk up to me and slap me in the face and say: ‘Hey! When you’ve played Start Me Up as many times as I have, then you can bitch.” https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-story-behind-how-you-remind-me-by-nickelback
