"Every You Every Me" was released as the third single from Placebo's second album, 'Without You I'm Nothing', on 21 January 1999.
It was released as a 2-CD set and on cassette (Who has still this cassette?!), but promotional copies on 12" vinyl exist (and this vinyl, who has it?!).
The single managed to chart at number forty-six in Australia, ninety-nine in Germany and eleven in the UK Singles Chart. The song was featured on the 'Cruel Intentions' soundtrack.
There are two versions of the video, both filmed live at London's Brixton Academy; one includes clips from the movie Cruel Intentions.

It was voted from a poll of 500,000 votes to be ranked number 83 on the list of the Hottest 100 of All Time in July 2009, conducted by Australian radio station Triple J.
Croatian metal band 'Ashes You Leave' covered "Every You Every Me" on their 2009 album Songs of the Lost.

Along with the rest of the album (apart from "Pure Morning"), "Every You Every Me" was recorded in early 1998 at Real World Studios with Steve Osborne.
When asked who it was about, Molko replied with "Who's it about? I'm not really too sure just yet. I think it's about a lot of people. Probably anybody... everybody who's had the displeasure of sleeping with me."
About his choice to include it in the 'Cruel Intentions' soundtrack, Molko said that he "studied drama, I know the original (Dangerous Liaisons) and we watched it on the tour bus when they wanted to use our song.
I said: 'If he doesn't die in the end, if it's a happy ending, we don't do it.' It's quite perverted and manipulative, so the theme of the song fits in quite well."
