"Sick and Tired" is a song by American singer-songwriter Anastacia from her third studio album, Anastacia (2004). "Sick and Tired" was written by Anastacia, Dallas Austin, and Glen Ballard; as a hook line, it samples vocals sung by Sohan Lal in Punjabi from the sample library "Deepest India" (also used in "Let the Music Play" by Italian music project Shamur).[2] The sentence repeated in the sample ("Dil La Liya Be-parvah dey naal") can be translated as "I gave my heart to someone who does not care".[3]

"Sick and Tired" was released as the album's second single on July 19, 2004, to positive reception from music critics. The single reached number one in the Czech Republic, charted at number two on the European Hot 100, and peaked inside the top five in several countries, including Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
