About the song

The song is a melancholy ballad, and one of the few songs on the "Pop Trash" album with lyrics actually written by vocalist Simon Le Bon -- the rest were composed by bandmates Nick Rhodes and Warren Cuccurullo.

Music video

The video was the first to be created entirely in Macromedia Flash animation, by web design firm Fullerene Productions (who also created the band's Flash-based official website).

B-sides, bonus tracks and remixes

At Le Bon's request, the lyrics were translated into French and Spanish so he could record alternate versions, which were included as bonus tracks on various global releases:

* "Un Autre Que Moi" ("Someone Else Not Me" en Français) - 4:19
* "Alguien Más Que No Soy Yo" ("Someone Else Not Me" en Español) - 4:16

Chart positions

"Someone Else Not Me" only reached #53 in the UK, a disappointing placing considering most previous singles had hit the top 40. However, it made it to the top 10 in Latvia, #1 in Poland, and #4 in Italy.
