I Am is Killing Heidi's seventh song released and the first single from their 2004 self-titled album Killing Heidi. Upon its release to radio, I Am was, according to record company Sony BMG, the "fastest addition ever to radio by an Australian band". With loud, roaring guitars and moody vocals, the track embodied the band's new, pared-back musical style; indeed, the song sounded so different to the band's earlier work that many people, fans and critics alike, were surprised that this was the same band who had, five years earlier, delivered songs like Weir and Mascara.

I Am became an instant hit upon its release in July 2004, debuting at #16 on the official ARIA charts and remaining in the top 50 for almost three months, eventually selling over 35,000 copies and thus achieving Gold status. It was the first time Killing Heidi had been in the charts since 2002's "Present" album, and the song served to introduce to the public the band's new image, both musically and physically.

Additionally, "I Am" was also featured on the Australia/New Zealand soundtrack of the 2004 film Spiderman 2.
