I Am Five is an unreleased song tracked and overdubbed on 8 September 1983 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California. It is a slow-paced blues style track built on a sparse bed that starts with an isolated drum beat, piano, bass, and finger snaps but builds into a more upbeat yet still haunting song about someone who is very isolated describing how they are perceived.
