The song was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single. Although Nightwish already joyed a solid fan base in Europe and South America by the time of the single's release, it is considered their breakthrough song since it helped them reach a wider audice.
Keyboardist and songwriter Tuomas Holopain says the song was one of the most difficult songs the band's ever done. It took them months to work on the arrangemt. The first version was faster and two minutes longer, but recording gineer Tero Kinnun suggested they cut off a certain section and slowed it down by about 10 bpm.
This contradicts speculations that the song simply borrows on a Nemo character of an earlier work, such as J. Verne's Captain Nemo, Homer's Ulysses alias Nemo, C. Dicks’ Captain Hawdon alias Nemo, W. McCay's Little Nemo, or the Disney Studio's film Finding Nemo.
Voice Coach Reacts
Not the fish! I cannot believe how everyone seems to be convinced it's that. Nemo, which is Latin for nobody, has nothing to do with the Disney film. It revolves around the feelings I have from time to time. I feel nameless and do not know who I am or where I will go. I only know my past and I long to be back there. The song is about being lost, not knowing where to go or what to do, yet desperate for everything in life. That’s not always me, but wh I wrote Nemo, that's the way I felt. Now I feel better. (Translated from German)— Tuomas Holopain, Underground Empire interview
In a 2016 interview, he said he was just a much darker person th than I am now and that he would never do a song like that again.
The song received a video that cost around €80, 000, which is much more than most heavy metal videos cost at that time. It was directed by Finnish director Antti Jokin and shows the band performing among snowy mountains. Th vocalist Tarja Turun is wearing a red coat, which she admits to be differt from other symphonic metal female vocalists, who usually dress in black.

The video was heavily played on TVs around the world, but according to Turun, some channels were reluctant at first due to the video having be shot in the snow.
Also, she said the video helped the band gain more atttion from gothic fans, ev though she doesn't believe they have ever considered themselves to be a gothic band.
After Turun left Nightwish, Nemo became one of the songs from the band that she would frequtly perform live in her solo concerts.
