"How You Remind Me" is a single by the band Nickelback, the first one from their 2001 album Silver Side Up. The single was also released in that year, reaching the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart for 4 weeks while it topped both the Mainstream and Modern Rock charts for 13 weeks. Outside the U.S., the song became a worldwide hit, it was #5 on the UK Singles Chart, and #1 on the Irish Singles Chart. Due to the high sales, it was ranked as the top single of 2001 by Billboard magazine. In the UK, although not reaching the dizzy heights of #1 in the charts, How You Remind Me stayed in the singles chart top 20 for 3 months. Although two other singles followed from Silver Side Up, ("Too Bad", "Never Again"), they were very minor hits. This shows how successful of a single "How You Remind Me" was, since the 6 million copies of Silver Side Up sold in the U.S., as well as around 10 million copies sold worldwide can be nearly single handedly credited to "How You Remind Me".

The song went on to rack up four Grammy Award nominations, four Billboard Awards, four Juno awards, and countless radio accreditations. "How You Remind Me" was the #1 Most Played Song of 2002, across all formats, according to Billboard Monitor.

• "How You Remind Me" was the #1 song on the Billboard's 2002 Year-End Hot 100 Singles Chart, Hot 100 Airplay Track Chart and Hot Top 40 Track.
• The successful music video for "How You Remind Me" featured Nickelback playing a small venue with focus on a female audience member. Chad Kroeger admitted to disliking the idea of a small venue performance at first, opting for a bigger scale arena concert; however, he found the outcome of the video satisfying.
• The song was covered by Sum 41 at the MTV New Year's Eve party.
