"
Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)" is a single from
Chevelle's album
This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In). It was their second number-one hit on the
Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and reached number three on the
Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. In interviews, it has been stated that "Vitamin R" is
Ritalin. The song was written about a friend of the Loeffler brothers, who was misdiagnosed with
ADHD, and developed an addiction to Ritalin. As a result, he would often do crazy and odd things, such as drive around aimlessly for hours, determined to hear a specific song on the radio.
