Be Yourself (Audioslave song)

"Be Yourself" is the first single from the second album of the American rock band Audioslave, Out of Exile.

The song was released in 2005 and topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for seven weeks and the Modern Rock Tracks chart for four weeks in 2005.

The lyrics were inspired by events from the frontman's, Chris Cornell's, own life.

"The 'be yourself' part really just came from a lot of things that I've gone through in my life and a lot of different changes and all the different tragedies and all the horrendously stupid mistakes I've made in my personal life, and wanting to be able to make up for those things and wanting to be able to not be ashamed, all that stuff," he explained.
