"I'm Through with Me", commonly referred to as "Me, Myself and I", is an alternative rock-type song from "Split Personality" which the two separated alter-egos of Candace sing in the Googolplex Mall. The song is performed by both singers with a sense of relief, hinting the poor harmony they had lived with each other under while in one body.
Lyrics[]
Busting Candace: Me, myself and I
Don't see eye to eye
Me, myself and I
Don't get along
Me, myself and I
Can finally say goodbye
This collaboration always felt so wrong
There's two of us on the scene
And I don't want to sound mean
But I'll tell you that I'm happy without me
I've been holding me back
But now I'm on my own track
We're done. Finito! I'm free!
Romantic Candace: From here on out
We can both exist peacefully
Without all of this struggle and internal strife
Busting Candace: (Internal strife)
Romantic Candace: Now that we're separate, we can do anything
So don't let the door hit you
Have a nice life
Busting Candace: (Have a nice life)
Busting Candace: I'm through with myself
I'm better off without her
Romantic Candace: (Myself and I)
Busting Candace: I'm through with myself
I'm better off without her
Romantic Candace: (Myself and I)
Busting Candace: I'm through with myself
I'm better off without her
Romantic Candace: (Myself and I)
Busting Candace: I'm through with myself
I'm better off without her
Me, myself and I
Don't see eye to eye
Romantic Candace: (Without her)
Busting Candace: Me, myself and I
Don't get along
Romantic Candace: (Without her)

Background Information[]
- Besides being a common phrase, "Me, Myself & I" is also the inscription on a poster Candace has hanging on her wall.
- The way Candace is singing, and the fact there are two of her, are reminiscent of "Busted".
- Candace's phrase in the song "Finito" means "Finished," in Italian, this translated in English means: "I'm done! I'm Free!". This was done probably for rhyming reasons.
- In the Castilian Spanish version of the song, Candace says, "Y estoy mejor ya sin mí" ("I'm better off without me"), as heard in the guide tracks performed by Olivia Olson and Danny Jacob.
- This was the first version that included its official title ("Rompiendo Conmigo"; "I'm Through with Me"), also serving as a reference to the line "Conmigo rompí".
- Candace's starting voice in the song appears to be in the flat tone of Busting Candace rather than the relaxed tone Romantic Candace employs later.
- In Latin America, the song was instead named "Yo, Mí Misma y Yo" ("Me, Myself and I" in Spanish).
- Two different voice actresses do the singing parts for Busting Candace and Romantic Candace. Presumably, the latter followed Olivia Olson's guide vocals.
- One of the backgrounds has circles splitting in half or being divided in two. Circles and half-circles are a recurring theme whenever Candace is on the screen, just like Phineas has triangles on the background when he is on the screen.
- This song evidently has an extended version. The demo and the guide track run longer than the final episode version, the demo running around 22–23 seconds longer due to the last part of the song being repeated.[1]
- Two demo versions of the song have been released, one sung by Dan Povenmire and Martin Olson (with additional vocals by Aliki Thompson and Evie Shapiro)[1] and one sung by Olivia Olson.[2]
- An extended studio recording on the extended version was uploaded to YouTube on March 13, 2024.[3]
- From the third line of the first verse to the rest of the episode, the top of Busting Candace's hair appears to be smooshed.

Continuity[]
- The shop that the Romantic Candace enters during the song is Retro Pharmacist Limited, which was made popular during an outbreak of Doofenshmirtz clones that changed the style from Summer All The Time Collection to Retro Pharmacist ("Run Away Runway", "Finding Mary McGuffin").
- The balloon man from "City of Love" reappears ("Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!"). This is actually his third appearance, with "Hip Hip Parade" being his real first appearance.
