"I'm So Afraid" is a song written by Lindsey Buckingham for the British/American rock band Fleetwood Mac's tenth album, Fleetwood Mac.

Background

The final track of the album, it was released as the B-side to the song "Over My Head". It was a hard rock song, quite atypical of Fleetwood Mac's songs (at least following the Peter Green era), but it quickly became a live staple, appearing as the concert finale to nearly all of their tours, often in a greatly extended form. The song was intended for a second Buckingham Nicks album, but was used for Fleetwood Mac instead.[1] It appeared on all live albums recorded after its release, including Live, The Dance, Fleetwood Mac: Live in Boston, and on the 2015 box set of Tusk. The live edition from The Dance was released in an edited form on the US and 2009 release of the greatest hits compilation album The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac.

Buckingham also includes the song in his solo live performances, as well releasing versions on solo live albums Live at the Bass Performance Hall, Songs from the Small Machine: Live in L.A. and One Man Show.
