Without You I'm Nothing (song)

"Without You I'm Nothing" is a song by the British alternative rock band Placebo. It is the title track and the second single from their second studio album of the same name, released in 1996.

The song is characterized by its melancholic and introspective lyrics, exploring themes of dependency, identity, and the feeling of incompleteness without a significant other. Musically, it features a distinctive blend of grunge and glam rock influences, with a prominent bassline, driving guitars, and Brian Molko's distinctive vocals.

"Without You I'm Nothing" is considered one of Placebo's signature songs and is a staple of their live performances. It helped to solidify the band's international recognition and remains one of their most popular and critically acclaimed tracks. The song's enduring appeal lies in its raw emotional honesty and its ability to resonate with listeners who have experienced similar feelings of vulnerability and longing.
