"Part of Me" is a song by American musician Chris Cornell, from his third solo studio album, Scream (2009). "Part of Me" is the first official single for Canada and Europe (and second official single overall) and was released as a digital download on October 12, 2008 in Canada and Germany. There is no indication of a release in the US. The non-explicit version of the song was previewed on Virgin Radio 99.9,[1] where listeners were encouraged to enter a poll of the audience's reaction to the song. The album version of the song was leaked on November 12, featuring an outro that seamlessly integrates into "Time", the next track on Scream.[2][3] California DJ Steve Aoki also made a remix of the song which can be downloaded for free in MP3 off his record label's official website, while his remix also appears on the official "Part of Me (Remix EP)" digital release.

Background

[edit | edit source]

This song refers to a fictional (or otherwise) incidence in lusting after a girl (and a possible 'fling'): "I want the girl but I want a lot, Might cross my mind but that's where it stops." Cornell explains to an established lover that "But I swear it never meant a thing, she was just a fling."

Music video

[edit | edit source]
