Toby Keith – How Do You Like Me Now?!

“How Do You Like Me Now?!” Single by Toby Keith from the album How Do You Like Me Now?!.
Released November 22, 1999.

The song spent five weeks at Number One on the Billboard U.S. Hot Country Songs chart beginning in March 2000. It was his first major crossover hit peaking at number 31 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Keith discussed the inspiration for the song on his website in 2000. “Initially, I said, ‘Here’s my title: “You Never Loved Me Before, So How Do You Like Me Now?'” It’s one of my catch-phrases. A lot of people become successful after they’ve been told they won’t ever be, so people can relate to this. It can be about an old flame or a boss or a teacher -whatever it means to each individual. It was a fun song to write.”

The song’s music video premiered on The CMT Delivery Room on November 26, 1999, and was directed by Michael Salomon. It features Toby Keith singing at a hometown football field in the middle of the night.
