"I'm So Sick" was the first single off Flyleaf's self-titled 2005 debut, a nu metal wrecking ball with a spiritual itch: it drew partly on a saying often credited to Augustine of Hippo, that the church is a hospital for sinners rather than a museum for saints. It opens on a distorted bass guitar, and the singer later admitted surprise at how low her voice sank in those intros.
All five members share the writing credit. Lacey Sturm sings lead, Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartmann play guitars, Pat Seals bass and James Culpepper drums, with Howard Benson producing and Mike Plotnikoff recording and mixing. The radio edit drops the screaming, and the song later landed in the video game Rock Band and on the soundtrack to Live Free or Die Hard.
