"Something Is Not Right with Me" was the first single from Loyalty to Loyalty, Cold War Kids' 2008 second album, where it sits fourth in the running order. The band first put it up on their Myspace page in July 2008 before an official iTunes release that September, and it's credited to the band as a whole. Lyrically it's about someone stuck with a dilemma in a world that won't stop shifting under their feet.
Critics were split on it, but it reached number 39 on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart and was voted in at number 38 in Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2008, the band's third song to make that list. Sophie Muller directed the video, which puts the band in an abandoned warehouse.
