"Not Me, Not I" is a song written by Gary Barlow, Delta Goodrem, Eliot Kennedy, Kara DioGuardi and Jarrad Rogers, produced by Barlow and Kennedy for Goodrem's first studio album, Innocent Eyes (2003). It was released as the album's fourth single in Australia on 15 September 2003. The song peaked at number one on the Australian Singles Chart, giving Goodrem her fourth number-one single and breaking Kylie Minogue's record of having the most songs released from an album to reach number one.

This single is a love song, which talks about her pain at losing her first love. There has been speculation she is singing about her ex-boyfriend and fellow Neighbours star, Blair McDonough.

The song is acoustic rock and has an influence of the pop rock genre. It is heavily piano-driven with some use of a string ensemble. The song has a prominent emphasis on the instrumental arranging,[1] and it's written in they key E minor. The chords follow in this order: Em–C–D–B7, and then for the chorus: Em–C–Am7–D.[2]

"Not Me, Not I" remained in the top 10 for 10 weeks. In the United Kingdom, the single debuted and peaked at number 18,[5] while in New Zealand, it peaked at number 11.[6]
