Sick and Tired (Anastacia song)
"Sick and Tired" is a song by American singer-songwriter Anastacia from her third studio album, Anastacia (2004).

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.
