==Background==
Ne-Yo met [[Norway|Norwegian]] production team, [[Stargate (production team)|Stargate]], consisting of Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen, in a hallway at [[Sony Music Studios]] on West [[54th Street (Manhattan)|54th Street]], [[New York City]] after the duo had settled there in the spring of 2005. After finding out they produced R&B-oriented tracks, among others, they started on writing songs for his debut album ''[[In My Own Words]]''. They produced six songs, including "So Sick".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sisario |first=Ben |title=Wizards in the Studio, Anonymous on the Street |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/arts/music/06sisa.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all&oref=slogin |work=The New York Times |publisher=The New York Times Company |date=[[May 06]], [[2007]] |accessdate=2008-01-31}}</ref>

Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen of Stargate composed the music for the song, while Ne-Yo composed the lyrics. "So Sick" centers on a character, who is tired of hearing love songs playing on the radio, as they remind him of his last relationship and breakup. [[Irony|Ironically]], the song can be interpreted as a love song about being sick of love songs.

Ne-Yo has said he got the idea for the song from an old girlfriend he used to have. He really did love her but he listened to the advice of his friends and wound up cheating on her. They broke up when she found out but shortly after he started repeatedly hearing a song on the radio that she used to love, which was unusual because the song wasn't new and it hadn't had much airplay until that point. Every time he heard the song he was reminded of how he lost his girlfriend and wanted to turn the radio off but he would always keep listening to it because it also reminded him of how much he loved her and all the good times they shared.

==Reception==
"So Sick" received generally positive responses from contemporary critics. Bill Lamb of [[About.com|About]] stated that the smooth instrumental of the song makes it stand out and appropriate to listen during mid-winter season. He was pleased with the vocals of Ne-Yo, but noted that "more emotional involvement would have made his performance more memorable", while calling "restrained".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lamb |first=Bill |title=Ne-Yo - So Sick |url=http://top40.about.com/od/singles/gr/sosick.htm |work=About |publisher=About, Inc. |accessdate=2008-03-14}}</ref> A review from [[Contactmusic.com]] echoed the latter's comment, saying that his vocal rendition is "stunning", while complimenting the production a "melodic masterpiece".<ref>{{Cite web |title=So Sick, Single Review |url=http://www.contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/webpages/neyox02x02x06 |work=Contactmusic |publisher=Contactmusic.com Ltd |accessdate=2008-03-14}}</ref>

==Music video==
The video for "So Sick", directed by [[Hype Williams]], saw heavy rotation on [[Black Entertainment Television|BET]] and [[MTV]]. Two versions of the song's video were shot. The original version of the music video ended up being scrapped for various reasons. The newer version appealed to the current weather conditions of the winter season with the video being filmed in the snowy mountains.

==Covers and remixes==
There are currently two "So Sick" remixes. One of which is entitled "So Sick (The Emcee Remix)". One features [[Jin Au-Yeung|Jin]] and another features GeeZe. Another remix is one that features [[LL Cool J]] and also samples [[Michael Jackson]]'s song, "[[Human Nature (Michael Jackson song)|Human Nature]]". This remix is on LL Cool J's 11th album, "[[Todd Smith]]". Another remix features labelmate [[Jay-Z]]. Another remix which is only sung by Ne-yo's ex-girlfriend.

[[Fall Out Boy]] lead singer, [[Patrick Stump]], has covered the song solo from his band.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Fn7stjSgY&feature=related] YouTube "Patrick Stump-So Sick"</ref>

==Trivia==
*R&B singer Lil' Bit penned an answer song which describes how his alleged ex-girlfriend is sick of Ne-Yo singing his love songs.
*This song made #2 on ''[[Black Entertainment Television|BET]]'s Top 100 Video Countdown of 2006''.
*Ne-Yo has also stated in an interview with BET, that his new song "[[Do You (song)|Do You]]" from his album, ''[[Because of You (Ne-Yo album)|Because of You]]'' is a second-part to "So Sick".
*The vocal melody in the chorus bears a distinct resemblance to the chorus to "[[The Fourth Legacy|A Sailorman's Hymn]]" by the band [[Kamelot]].
*There was some controversy in the UK over this song beating "Nature's Law" by Embrace to number 1, according to some sources, a large count of legal downloads of Embrace's single was lost and not registered in the official charts. If these downloads were counted, then Embrace would have achieved their first Number 1 single.
