Interesting facts and trivia about Call Me When You're Sober. By Songfacts®.

This song is about Amy Lee's former boyfriend, Seether lead singer Shaun Morgan. The day the song came out, he announced that he had checked into rehab. When Songfacts spoke with Morgan, he explained that the Seether song "Breakdown" was inspired by Amy Lee and this track in particular. "She wrote a song about me called 'Call Me When You're Sober,' and then she tried to retract that," he said. "Basically she went out and aired all my dirty laundry in the press. She was bad mouthing me and everything."

The video, which was directed by Marc Webb, has a "Little Red Riding Hood" theme. Says Lee: "The song is so literal, that we felt like the video would have the freedom to go in a less literal direction, so it's a modern re-imagining of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf and sort of a more cool, superhero, rock and roll Little Red Riding Hood."

Shaun Morgan told Kerrang! July 19, 2008 about how he feels about this song: "Yes, there was truth in it but it was a melodramatic, 15-year-old gothic poetry truth. She made it sound very one-sided. Like I was a horrible drunk, always hammered, but I wasn't. I drank to cope when I was unhappy in the relationship. I was angry and trapped. No one's perfect, man. Besides, I like drinking."
