Radiohead signed to EMI in 1991 and released their debut album, Pablo Honey, in 1993; their debut single, "Creep", became a worldwide hit. Radiohead's popularity and critical standing rose with the release of The Bends in 1995. Radiohead's third album, OK Computer (1997), brought them international fame; noted for its complex production and themes of modern alienation, it is acclaimed as a landmark record and one of the best albums in popular music.
Radiohead's fourth album, Kid A (2000), marked a dramatic change in style, incorporating influences from electronic music, jazz, classical music and krautrock. Though Kid A divided listeners, it later attracted wide acclaim. It was followed by Amnesiac (2001), recorded in the same sessions. Hail to the Thief (2003), with lyrics addressing the War on Terror, was Radiohead's final album for EMI.
Radiohead self-released their seventh album, In Rainbows (2007), as a download for which customers could set their own price, to critical and chart success. Their eighth album, The King of Limbs (2011), an exploration of rhythm, was developed using extensive looping and sampling. A Moon Shaped Pool (2016) prominently featured Jonny Greenwood's orchestral arrangements. Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Selway, and O'Brien have released solo albums; in 2021, Yorke and Jonny Greenwood debuted a new band, the Smile.
By 2011, Radiohead had sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. Their awards include six Grammy Awards and four Ivor Novello Awards, and they hold five Mercury Prize nominations, the most of any act. Seven Radiohead singles have reached the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart: "Creep" (1992), "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" (1996), "Paranoid Android" (1997), "Karma Police" (1997), "No Surprises" (1998), "Pyramid Song" (2001), and "There There" (2003). "Creep" and "Nude" (2008) reached the top 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Rolling Stone named Radiohead one of the 100 greatest artists of all time, and Rolling Stone readers voted them the second-best artist of the 2000s. Five Radiohead albums have been included in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time lists. Radiohead were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.

Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel (And I)
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special (Ah)
You're so very special
But I'm a creep (O oh) I'm a weirdo
(O oh) What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
(All I Want for Christmas is Youuu)
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body (And I)
I want a perfect soul i want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so very special (Ah)
I wish I was spеcial
But I'm a creep (O oh) I'm a weirdo
(O oh) What the hell am I doing hеre?
I don't belong here
(All I Want for Christmas is Youuu) Oh, Oh
(You Baby) Oh, Oh
She's running out the door she's running out
She run, run, run, run (yeah)
Run (yeah, oh, oh)
Whatever makes you happy whatever you want
You're so very special (And I)I wish I was special but I'm a creep
(O oh) I'm a weirdo
(O oh) What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
(All I Want for Christmas)
I don't belong here
(You, baby) i don't belong here
(All I want for Christmas is you, baby)
I don't belong here
(All I want for Christmas is you, baby)

The lyrics to Radiohead's song "Creep" depict the internal struggle and feelings of self-doubt and insecurity experienced by the singer. The opening lines suggest a sense of inadequacy in the presence of another person, perhaps a love interest. The mention of the angelic qualities and the impact of their appearance on the singer's emotions suggest a deep admiration and longing. However, the singer feels inferior and not deserving of their attention, wishing desperately to be special like them.
The chorus, with its powerful repetition of "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo," expresses a strong self-judgment and a feeling of not belonging. The singer is haunted by their own perceived flaws and struggles to understand their place in the world. There is a sense of torment, where they are willing to endure pain and sacrifice their own happiness just to have some control over their emotions and surroundings.
The final verse adds another layer to the narrative, introducing the idea of the person they desire actually leaving them, running away. This further intensifies their feelings of not belonging and reinforces their self-doubt. The closing lines, repeating "I don't belong here," solidify the singer's belief that they are out of place and unwanted.
Overall, "Creep" explores themes of low self-esteem, yearning for acceptance, and the internal battle between longing and self-flagellation.
