Not for You

1995 single by Pearl Jam

"Not for You" is a song by the American rock band Pearl Jam, released in February 1995 as the second single from the band's third studio album, Vitalogy (1994). Although credited to all members of Pearl Jam, it was primarily written by vocalist Eddie Vedder. The song peaked at number 12 on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and became the band's fourth top 10 single in New Zealand. It was later included on Pearl Jam's 2004 greatest hits album, rearviewmirror (Greatest Hits 1991–2003).

"Not for You" was released as a single on February 13, 1995, in the United Kingdom. The release contains a previously unreleased B side titled "Out of My Mind". The song peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and number 38 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Outside the United States, "Not for You" reached the top 40 in the UK and peaked at number 29 on the Australian Singles Chart. "Not for You" reached the top 30 in Ireland and the top 10 in New Zealand.

"Not for You" was first performed live at the band's March 7, 1994, concert in Denver, Colorado at the Paramount Theatre. The song was performed on Saturday Night Live without the explicit lyrics in April 1994, almost eight months before the release of Vitalogy. Live performances of "Not for You" can be found on the Hype! soundtrack, various official bootlegs, the Live at the Gorge 05/06 box set, and the live album Live at Lollapalooza 2007. A performance of the song is also included on the DVD Touring Band 2000. The version of the song on the Hype! soundtrack was recorded live on Pearl Jam's 1995 Self Pollution satellite radio broadcast, a four and a half hour long pirate broadcast out of Seattle which was available to any radio stations that wanted to carry it.
