"Animal I Have Become" is a song by Canadian rock band Three Days Grace. It was released on April 10, 2006, as the first single from their second studio album, One-X.[1] The song was released digitally on April 18, 2006.[2] The song spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and two weeks at No. 1 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song alongside "Riot" are used in the video game, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007. It is the band's first single with their fourth member Barry Stock. Critical reception to the song was generally favorable, with emphasis on the song's catchiness combined with its thick guitars.

Background

Lead singer Adam Gontier has stated that while he was addicted to the painkiller OxyContin, he was abusive and angry and had no idea who he was anymore. He wrote "Animal I Have Become" while in rehab for his addiction.[3][4] Gontier also added, "'Animal I Have Become' is my realization that change had to happen, I had to ask for help."[5] The band wrote a demo version of the song in 2004 while on a bus in Germany.[6] Bassist Brad Walst spoke to Billboard about the song stating, "I remember saying [that] that riff would be great heavy. As soon as we got back to North America, we started jamming it as a heavy song, and it was like, 'Shit, I think we've nailed it.'"[6]

Release

In late 2005, the band performed an alternate version of the song in concerts that featured a different set of lyrics. The song was first released online through the group's MySpace page on April 1, 2006,[7] before it was released as a single for radio airplay on April 10, 2006.[1] Both "Animal I Have Become" and "Pain" have been released in acoustic formats and are available on online music stores such as iTunes.[8]

Music video

The video was directed by Dean Karr and was shot in downtown Toronto.[9] It was released on April 24, 2006.[9] The video reached the top five on Fuse.tv and was the winner of Fuse's Oven Fresh.[10]

Reception

Music critics widely described "Animal I Have Become" as a highlight of One-X. Writing for Melodic, Kaj Roth praised "Animal I Have Become" as "really good" and a "great ... single" from the album.[11] In a review of One-X for The Lewiston Tribune, journalist Nate Gibb named the song as "catchy tune" with thick guitars and "straightforward beats."[12] Similarly to Gibb in his review, AllMusic's Corey Apar singled out "Animal I Have Become" as having "a slight singsongy chorus to complement the track's thick riffing."[13]

Accolades

In 2006, the song was Canada's most-played rock song and won that year's Mediabase award for the most-played rock song on radio.[14] At the 2006 Billboard Music Awards, the song was nominated for "Modern Rock Single of the Year" and won the "Rock Single of the Year" award.[15][16] The song received a BMI Award in 2006 along with their other single "Pain".[17] The song was ranked at number 45 on Loudwire's "Top 21st Century Hard Rock Songs" in 2012.[18] In May 2021, for the 40th anniversary of Mainstream Rock Tracks, Billboard ranked the song at number 41 on its list of the 100 most successful songs in the chart's history;[19][20] in September 2023, the magazine ranked the song at number 95 on a similar retrospective list for the 35th anniversary of Modern Rock Tracks (which by then had been renamed to Alternative Airplay).[21][22]
