"I'm Already Taken" is the debut single by American country music artist Steve Wariner, released in April 1978. It peaked at number 63 on the U.S. Billboard country singles chart.[1] In 1999, Wariner re-recorded the song for his album Two Teardrops. He released this re-recording in July as that album's second single, taking to number 3 on the same chart, as well as number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]
Wariner co-wrote the song when he was 23 years old. The rendition from Two Teardrops includes a backing vocal from his brother, Terry, who has also sung backing vocals in Wariner's road band.[3] Conway Twitty recorded the song on his 1981 album Mr. T. Conway's daughter Kathy Twitty provided the female backing vocals on his version.
