Nickelback is a rock band that makes emotional rock music with the right amount of pop catering to the audience of both genres. The Canadian rock band has been in business since the 2000s. They became radio famous with "How You Remind Me", which was people's favorite, both in the USA and Canada.

Figure You Out is part of Nickelback's album "The Long Road", released in the year 2003. The track opens with a powerful guitar along with the lyrics. There is no introduction to the track. The guitar play is quite open and feels light. The melody, guitar, and crunchy rhythm are all in a good place, enhancing the song's beauty. The music arrangement is quite straightforward but that's what makes it dynamic and very effective. The production of the guitar along with the vocals and the melody is cut clear, impressively increasing the level of the track.
Figure You Out is a lyrically seductive, powerful track, talking about the opposite gender

The lyrical game is a bit confusing. It might seem like a happy song but there are a few parts like "dirt" and "disease" which contradict this notion. It is a mixture of desire and betrayal in a relationship. The chorus is catchy and completely in sync with the progression of the cords. It is catchy, raw, and authentic.
The song is particularly loved for its theme, beginning with the toxic behavior in a romantic relationship, but somehow loved.
Figure You Out by Nickelback has been a success commercially for the distinctive style of the band. Instrumental play soo strong with a complimenting melody and straightforward lyrics make the song loved by many. The energy and the theme soo good, that you want to listen to it again and again. Give it a try:
