"Tired of Being Sorry" is a Latin pop song recorded by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias. Written by Scott Thomas, it was released as second international single from his 2007 album Insomniac and achieved success in several European countries where it was a top ten hit. In 2008, the song was re-recorded as a bilingual duet with the French singer Nâdiya under the title "Tired of Being Sorry (Laisse le destin l'emporter)" and became a huge hit, particularly in France and Belgium (Wallonia).

The song is a cover of indie pop band Ringside's song of the same name. Scott Thomas, Ringside's songwriter and lead vocalist, produced Iglesias's version. Iglesias's version is essentially the same though he uses stronger synth pop elements than in the original and the line "Chandler and Van Nuys" has been changed to "Eighth and Ocean Drive" exchanging an intersection in Los Angeles to an intersection in Miami where Iglesias is based. Some fans have noted that Iglesias's recorded version sounds more similar to how Ringside plays the song in concert.

Iglesias first performed the song on his For the Fans tour and was invited by Scott Thomas to give an impromptu performance of the song during Ringside's concert at The Roxy Theatre.

The music video was directed by Jessy Terrero who had directed Iglesias's previous video "Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)" and was said to have been inspired by the movie Blade. The video depicts Iglesias as a vampire perched atop a building across from the LA skyline remembering how he was turned.

Starting with an argument with his girlfriend, Iglesias storms out of an apartment and while on the streets he spots a seductive female vampire, played by model Donna Feldman, and follows her into a busy underground club where she lures him into a back room and bites him. Examining himself in the mirror, Iglesias inspects the bite marks on his neck and watches how his reflection disappears. The final part of the video has Iglesias meeting up with his girlfriend again and they embrace but then Iglesias disappears into thin air.

The song and video were featured on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 9, in an episode focused on video modeling. The remaining girls played various roles in the underground club scenes, and an alternate cut was created, which can be seen on the official CW website as well as on the front page of Iglesias's official website. This version of the video was played regularly on MTV Tr3s.
