"Call Me When You're Sober" is a song by American rock band Evanescence recorded for their second studio album, The Open Door. Wind-up Records released it as the album's lead single on September 4, 2006; this release was preceded by the song's Internet leak and its earlier distribution to radio stations on July 31. The track was written by Amy Lee and band guitarist Terry Balsamo, while Dave Fortman handled its production. Lee confirmed that the song was inspired by a bad breakup with Shaun Morgan, lead singer of the band Seether. The track is an alternative metal, symphonic rock, and electropop piano ballad about the frustration of dealing with a partner with an addiction and having to terminate the relationship.
