"Army of Me" is a song by Icelandic recording artist Björk. It was released on April 21, 1995 by One Little Indian as the lead single from her third solo album Post (1995). The song was written and produced by Björk and Graham Massey, who helped her in producing and writing the majority of her third album. "Army of Me" was a commercial success, and the first single from Björk to enter in the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. Lyrically, the song was inspired by the damaging behavior of Björk's brother, and in the lyrics she tells him to stand up and to regain control of his life. The song was critically well received by music critics who noted its darkness and praised Björk's energy.
Björk premiered the song on some gigs during the Debut Tour before the release of the album. She performed it in a series of TV appearances, and notably, for the first time on Top of the Pops with Skunk Anansie. Additionally, the song was performed on every date of the Post Tour. The song was featured on Björk's compilation album, Greatest Hits (2002).
Vocalist and guitarist Vince Scheuerman grew up in a Gaithersburg, Maryland religious community. Feeling frustrated with mainstream culture, he turned to music as an outlet. Scheuerman and long-time friend John Hutchins, bass, joined a ska band, Sidewinders SC, but quit to start their own project. The pair formed Cactus Patch in 2001 with drummer Dennis Manuel.
Under the name Cactus Patch, they self-released 3 EPs on CD-Rs and one self-titled album. They changed their name to Army of Me not long after winning the WHFS Big Break contest which granted them an opening slot at the 2001 HFStival. The band's reputation in the Washington, DC area grew through street team promotion, active touring and multiple years playing the street stage at the HFStival. Guitar player Brad Tursi joined the band in 2003, filling out the live sound.
Army of Me went on to independently release the "Fake Ugly EP" as well as the "Demos EP" and toured the East Coast and the Mid-west of the United States. In January 2006, Army of Me signed a record deal with Atlantic Records. In February and March 2006, they recorded their record CITIZEN in a small beach house in Mathews, Virginia with producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette and engineer Dave Holdredge. The album was released April 10, 2007 on Doghouse/Atlantic records.

Lyrics - Army Of Me
Words and music - Jamie Hartman/Phil Bentley/David Glass
I've been standing where you left me
Praying that you'd come andget me
But now I've found my second wind
Now I've found my second skin
Well I know what you were thinking
You thought you'd watch me fade away
When you broke me into pieces
But I gave each piece a name
One of me is wiser
One of me is stronger
One of me's a fighter
And there's a thousand faces of me
And we're gonna rise up
Yeah we're gonna rise up
For every time you wronged me
Well you're gonna face an army, army of me
Welcome to the revolution
All your walls are breaking down
It's time you had a taste of losing
Time the tables turned around
I see a glimpse of recognition
But it's too little it's too late
And what you thought was your best desicion
Just became your worst mistake
One of me is wiser
One of me is stronger
One of me's a fighter
And there's a thousand faces of me
And we're gonna rise up
Yeah we're gonna rise up
For every time you wronged me
Well you're gonna face an army, army of me
So how does it feel
To know that I beat ya
That I can defeat ya
How does it feel,
Coz it sure feels sweeter
It sure feels sweeter to me
Now that I'm wiser
Now that I'm stronger
Now that I'm a fighter
And there's a thousand faces of me
And I'm going to rise up
Yeah I'm gonna rise up
For every time you wronged me
Well now you're gonna face an Army,
an Army of me
