Keith discussed the inspiration for the song on his website in 2000 . `` Initially , I said , ' Here 's my title : `` You Never Loved Me Before , So How Do You Like Me Now ? ' '' It 's one of my catch - phrases . A lot of people become successful after they 've been told they wo n't ever be , so people can relate to this . It can be about an old flame or a boss or a teacher - whatever it means to each individual . It was a fun song to write . ''
