"Wake Up" is a song by Canadian rock band Three Days Grace, from their debut studio album Three Days Grace. The song was released on January 10, 2005 as the fourth and final single from the album. It was released exclusively in Canada.[1] The radio edit version changes the original line, "you're not drunk enough to fuck" to "you're just not drunk enough to talk."

Background

Lead singer Adam Gontier talked about the song "Wake Up" during an interview. He said, "We kind of wrote that song together as a band. The other guys in the band have gone through quite a few relationships, and I've been through a couple. Really that song's just about wanting to get a second chance at a relationship that has gone pretty bad."[2] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com, by Alfred Music Publishing, the track runs at 77 BPM and is in the key of A Major.[3] Gontier's range in the song spans from the notes D4 to A5.[3]

The band performed an acoustic version of the song on MTV in 2004.[4] The acoustic version was included in their Rolling Stone Original EP and a live version was included in their Three Days Grace DVD album.[5][6]

Critical reception

AXS.com listed "Wake Up" as one of the "top 10 best Three Days Grace songs." Patricia Jones of AXS stated, "Instrumentally this song is beautiful. The melodies are well orchestrated and the heavy guitar help balance out the lightness of the rest, but it’s the lyrics that cause some conflict." She praised the song for being an "easy" and "entrenching" track and how "the lyrics are in sharp contrast to the ease of the music."[7]
