"I See Red" is a song written by Jim Rafferty, the brother of Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty. It was initially recorded by Swedish singer and ABBA member Anni-Frid Lyngstad, better known as Frida. Frida's recording was included on her debut English-language album and third studio album overall Something's Going On (1982). The song was produced by Phil Collins. It was released as the album's third single in December 1982 exclusively in South Africa, released through Sunshine Records.
The single did not do well, failing to enter the main South African single chart, Springbok Radio. However, it would gain minor success, when it was recorded by Irish folk group Clannad, where it became a top 100 UK hit. Gerry Rafferty himself would also cover it on his 1992 album On a Wing and a Prayer.
