Frontman Rob Thomas wrote "Unwell", and Matchbox Twenty sent it out on Atlantic in 2003 as the follow-up to "Disease" from More Than You Think You Are, their third album. It's pop rock with a jittery grin, a song that sounds like it knows exactly how frayed it is.
It camped out at the top of Billboard's Adult Top 40 for 18 weeks, led the Adult Contemporary chart for two, and climbed to number 5 on the Hot 100, the band's third and last top-10 hit there. Abroad it reached number 12 in Australia and number 8 in New Zealand, and in 2004 it earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
