"I'm Sorry" is a song by American rapper Joyner Lucas, released on August 5, 2016 as the lead single from his fourth mixtape 508-507-2209 (2017).
In an interview with The Fader in August 2016, Joyner Lucas talked about his motivation for composing the song: One of my stepfather's friends committed suicide a couple months ago.
The second verse explores the consequences impacting their loved ones, with Lucas taking on the role of a friend who feels upset, angry and helpless about the situation and not having been able to prevent it.
[4][5] The music video was filmed in July 2016 at Faith Tabernacle Church in Worcester, Massachusetts, where Joyner's uncle Walter Lucas is the spiritual leader.
In an interview with Complex in December 2017, Joyner Lucas accused fellow rapper Logic, whom he was feuding with at the time, of copying his idea of suicide prevention in the song "1-800-273-8255".
