"I'm Not Like Everybody Else" is a song written by Ray Davies and first recorded by the Kinks in 1966 and released that year as the B-side of "Sunny Afternoon".

Later performances of the song were sung by Ray, with Dave providing backing vocals and Eric Clapton-influenced guitar solos.

"[6] The song is a defiant anthem of non-conformity, and its lyrics exhibit sentiments of frustration, accompanied by the outsider perception of being different from the rest, while yearning to seek and find, as well as assert, one's own individual identity.

[7][8][9] The song begins with an opening signature played somewhat menacingly on a twelve-string electric guitar in the key of A minor, punctuated by subtle drum beats, which then shifts into the key of G major when the lyrics begin, highlighting the song's angry stance.

[7] The song was first released as the B-side to their single "Sunny Afternoon" but soon became a favourite and was often part of the Kinks live act.
