.
The song was released internationally in July 1998, following up on the success of the band's prior hit, "Push It". "I Think I'm Paranoid" reached the Top Ten on the UK Singles chart
and Airplay charts, while across the Atlantic also becoming a hit on Billboard
s Modern Rock Tracks
chart. "I Think I'm Paranoid" became the biggest hit from Version 2.0 in Italy
, where it featured on a 30-second advert campaign for Breil Watches

and included on Garbage's greatest hits
album Absolute Garbage
.
's Friday Harbor, Washington, vacation house. The group demoed
and made rough outlines for new songs, of which "Bend Me" was one. When they felt they had made a good start, Garbage
took the work they made in Washington back to their Madison, Wisconsin
base at Smart Studios
and begin fleshing out the ideas and rough sketches over the following year.
Garbage intended their second album to build upon the framework, music style and musical template laid down by their first release
; to create a rapprochement between the "high-tech and low-down, the now sound and of golden memories" and wear musical references to the sixties, seventies and eighties. Garbage
recorded all of their work for the second album through a 48-track digital system digitally, direct to hard drives utilizing a 24bit Pro Tools
rig: the production of "Bend Me" would feature almost 120 audio tracks
.
Duke Erikson
created the opening guitar riff and arranged the backing chords, over which Shirley Manson
sang. Manson's vocal was manipulated in various parts of the song by running the feed to the mixing console
through a filter
or a stomp box
to provide distortion and by using ProTools plug-ins to time-stretch
the vocal take. Much of the percussion was recorded in a disused candy factory located in Madison; Butch Vig
, Steve Marker
and sound engineer Billy Bush set up a drum kit
within the empty building and recorded various fills
, utilising the favourable acoustics therein. Forced to stop after local police officers responded to complaints about the noise, some of the percussion was later incorporated into the chorus of "Bend Me" (and also found its way into "Temptation Waits
" and "Hammering in My Head"). The intro section made use of many percussive loops of kick
, snare
and hi-hat
sounds. Some loops were flipped backwards
, filtered and ran through an amp to create some white noise effects. Garbage employed touring bassist Daniel Shulman
to perform electric bass
on on the song, while Vig approached a DJ he met in Los Angeles
, Todd Malcolm Michelles, to provide a record scratching effect under the chorus
.
Garbage completed recording, producing and mixing of their second album in mid-February 1998, and the album was given the title Version 2.0.

-based music publisher Helios Music Corporation filed a copyright infringement
suit against Garbage, the band's own publisher Rondor Music, its North American record label Almo Sounds, and seven other co-defendants

, alleging
that "I Think I'm Paranoid" copied "significant elements of both lyrics and music" from the 1967 Scott English
and Larry Weiss composition
"Bend Me, Shape Me
" (a hit in the U.S. for The American Breed and in the U.K. for Amen Corner
), and that by failing to give "credit to the writers and publisher of ["Bend Me, Shape Me"], the defendants had falsely represented to the public that [Garbage] had independently created and are the authors of ["I Think I'm Paranoid"], in its entirety." Helios contendend that the chorus to "Bend Me, Shape Me" ("Bend me, shape me/Anyway you want me") was similar to that of the Garbage lyric ("Bend me, break me/Anyway you need me"); Helios sought credit
for "I Think I'm Paranoid", as well as damages, including all profits generated by the song and for the defendants to cease "any further sale, distribution or exploitation" of the song". Garbage considered the legal action a "nuisance suit".

for "I Think I'm Paranoid" was filmed on May 22, 1998, and directed
by Matthew Rolston
in Los Angeles
' Occidental Studios. The video premiered in the United States on July 12. The video was modified shortly after its release to soften some of the strobing within the video.
The concept behind the video was to make something simple, to contrast with the band's previous effects-heavy video for "Push It", in black and white and for it to be "almost photographic". Rolston used mylar to create effects on-screen, and shot the band in close up
, inspired by the cover of The Beatles
' album With The Beatles
