It all started with an argument. And, inevitably, that argument was between Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and the girlfriend with whom he lived in Vancouver. As the dispute reached boiling point, Chad stormed down to the rehearsal room in his basement, where he attempted to pinpoint why their relationship hurt so much.
Deep down, he knew he loved his girlfriend. He realised, too, that living with the frontman of a struggling rock’n’roll band couldn’t be easy. At the same time, however, he wanted to let her know that enough was enough. It was this curious cocktail of emotions that shaped the song How You Remind Me.
