Sobre la razon de porque hizo esta canciòn y el video, John Feldmann vocalista de Goldfinger explica lo siguiente:

"When my band was touring Europe in 1999, a truckload of chickens passed our tour bus on the freeway, they were on the way to the slaughterhouse. A few miles up the road we stopped for food, and the same truckload of chickens was there. I stood outside the truck and listened to the chickens crying in fear. I felt so poerless, I thought, if I release some of the animals, they will be hit by cars, If I try to rescue them, they would be confiscated at the border (which was 10 minutes away). Iwas on my knees crying because I could do nothing to change these paceful, beautiful, sentient animals fate. That night, I wrote "FREE ME". Maybe I could help by speaking for the animals who cannot speak. I made the video out of footage from "meet your meat". I have since met hundreds of people who have gone vegetarian from watching it... I hope you will go vegetarian too"

Free Me
Lyrics

I didn't ask you to take me from here
I didn't ask to be broken
I didn't ask you to stroke my hair
or treat me like a worthless token

but my skin is thick
and my mind is strong
I am built like my father was
I've done nothing wrong

so free me
I just wanna feel what life should be
I just want enough space
to turn around
and face the truth
so free me

when are you gonna realize
you're just wrong
you can't even think for yourself
you can't even make up your minds
so my mind's a jail
I hate the whole goddamn human race
what the hell do you want from me
kill me if you just don't know

or free me
I just wanna feel what life should be
I just want enough space to turn around
'cause you're all fucked
someday maybe you'll treat me like you
