"When I'm Gone" also commonly known by its longer title "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone", is a popular song written by A. P. Carter and was recorded in 1931 by the Carter Family (not to be confused with their 1928 song "Will You Miss Me When I’m Gone?").[1]
In 2009, the band Lulu and the Lampshades combined the song "When I'm Gone" with a common children's game known as the cup game, in which cups are tapped and hit on a table to create a distinct rhythm. This created the modern version of the song known as "Cups (When I'm Gone)" or alternately "When I'm Gone (Cups)".[3]
In 2011, Anna Burden uploaded a version of the song on YouTube that went viral.[4]
