"End Of Me" is a pop/rock song written by Marion Raven, Max Martin and Rami for Raven's internationally released album "Here I Am" (2005).

Content

The track features a unique electric guitar and piano introduction and is about Raven's search for a true identity in an ever-changing pop landscape. Raven said that, if she was not allowed to continue making music, it would be the end of her. "This is the last of illusions", the track also signifies that she is breaking out of her old image of that of M2M and to show the world who she really is. According to Raven, Atlantic Records was not confident of Raven's switch to a more rock image and a different style of songwriting.

The song's video was recorded in Taipei, Taiwan. It uses the piano intro of the track, "13 Days", which is also on "Here I Am" and features Raven trapped in rotating panels of glass that signify her being stereotyped and/or sidelined. Raven then attempts to break free and to assert her true identity through her music. In the music video, Raven can be seen playing the electric guitar during the song's bridge, which marks her increased instrumental scope.
