Me, Myself and (I)
"Me, Myself and (I)" is a song written by Australian singer-songwriter Darren Hayes and Justin Shave for Hayes' third solo album, This Delicate Thing We've Made. The song was confirmed as the album's second single on Hayes' official MySpace page in July 2007.[1] According to Hayes' official website, the track was co-written and produced on the second-to-last night of the album recording sessions.[2] The track failed to make the top 40 in the United Kingdom, debuting and peaking at #59 on 24 November 2007. The single sleeve artwork bears a striking resemblance to Kraftwerk's The Man-Machine album sleeve, and is most likely an homage to the electronic music pioneers.
