Title

The book is named after the 1999 song "Every You Every Me" by British rock band Placebo. Levithan said that "when I started writing the book, I wanted the novel to be my equivalent of a Sleeping with Ghosts era Placebo song. But in the book itself, it never says that the character listens to Placebo. The reference is more to the writing than to the events of the story, or the point of view."[1]
