Long before the track started showing up on TV, "Who Are You" was a single from The Who's album of the same name (the last the band released before the death of drummer Keith Moon). As Pete Townshend explained in the liner notes for the album's reissue, the song was inspired by a wild evening out with a pair of fellow rockers.
Townshend went on to praise Roger Daltrey’s "aggressive reading of my nihilistic lyric" before noting that "Steve and Paul became real ‘mates’ of mine in the English sense. We socialized a few times. Got drunk (well, I did) and I have to say to their credit, for a couple of figurehead anarchists, they seemed sincerely concerned about my decaying condition at the time.”
Townshend's guitar is no less angry than Daltrey's vocals. Joe Taysom of Far Out called Townshend's performance on "Who Are You" "visceral and fueled by pent-up rage."
