Wake me up inside is the opening lyric of Bring Me to Life, the breakthrough single by American rock band Evanescence from their 2003 album Fallen. Sung by Amy Lee, the line became one of the most quoted hooks of early 2000s rock and has since lived on far beyond the original song. It spread through reaction videos, parodies and short-form edits, where its earnest, dramatic delivery makes it perfect for both sincere nostalgia and ironic exaggeration, keeping it instantly recognisable more than two decades later.
