For the I Am... disc, Beyoncé was influenced by folk and alternative rock genres, while incorporating other instruments she had not normally used previously, such as the acoustic guitar. Tedder specifically assisted Beyoncé with crafting the album's balladry.{{Cite web|author=(Posted: 2008) |url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/showbiz/2009-10/13/content_8788039_3.htm |title=Beijing date announced for Beyonce's "I Am..." world tour |work=China Daily |publisher=China Daily Group |page=3 |date=October 13, 2009 |access-date=February 28, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091017082455/http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/showbiz/2009-10/13/content_8788039_3.htm |archive-date=October 17, 2009 }} The ballads were crafted in a way to combine "the best elements" of pop and soul music, while simultaneously "expanding the possibilities of both genres". Beyoncé attempted something different as people had strong expectations from her; she experimented with stronger lyrics. Beyoncé worked with Ghost to re-write Franz Schubert's "Ave Maria" after having co-written "Disappear" in London, England. Ghost told The Daily Telegraph that they were both inspired by their then-recent marriages and had walked down the aisle to "Ave Maria".{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/3563004/Beyonce-dream-girl.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/3563004/Beyonce-dream-girl.html |archive-date=January 12, 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Beyoncé: dream girl |first=Tom |last=Horan |date=November 8, 2008 |access-date=February 28, 2011 |work=The Daily Telegraph|location=UK}}{{cbignore}} The song "Smash Into You", featured on the deluxe edition of the album, was originally slated to appear on Jon McLaughlin's sophomore album OK Now under the name "Smack Into You", but was cut from the finalized tracklist after it was leaked online and was subsequently given to Knowles.{{Cite web |date=December 30, 2008 |title=Beyonce Steals "Smash into You" from Jon McLaughlin |url=http://www.thisisrnb.com/2008/12/beyonce-steals-smash-into-you-from-jon-mclaughlin/ |website=ThisisRNB |access-date=May 14, 2018 |archive-date=May 14, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180514141657/http://www.thisisrnb.com/2008/12/beyonce-steals-smash-into-you-from-jon-mclaughlin/ |url-status=live }}

During the nine-month period between November 2007 and August 2008, Beyoncé recorded over seventy songs and decided during the editing process that she did not want to reconcile the two approaches into one disc.{{Cite magazine|url=http://insidetv.ew.com/2008/10/15/split-personali/ |title=Split personality for new Beyoncé album |date=October 15, 2008 |access-date=February 28, 2011 |last=Willman |first=Chris |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |publisher=Time Inc |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721172536/http://insidetv.ew.com/2008/10/15/split-personali/ |archive-date=July 21, 2011 }} If a song was meaningless to her, she would cut it off during the process of elimination for the final track listing. After a process of elimination, twelve tracks were selected to be placed on the standard edition of the album, while five additional tracks were chosen to make the final cut for the deluxe edition of the album. Beyoncé later revealed that songs from established producers like The Neptunes and Danja were not able to make the final cut.{{citation needed|date=January 2012}}

In an interview for Billboard magazine, Beyoncé described I Am... Sasha Fierce as a double album. She said, "One side has songs that are more mainstream and another has my more traditional R&B songs for my fans who've been there the whole time. Some of it sounds like Barbra Streisand, Karen Carpenter and The Beatles around the 1970s."{{Cite magazine |url=http://login.vnuemedia.com/bbbiz/search/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003895366 |title=Beyoncé: Worker B |last=Crosley |first=Hillary |date=November 18, 2008 |magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media |access-date=February 27, 2011}} Music writer Andy Kellman of AllMusic viewed its first disc as "essentially a small set of adult contemporary ballads. Acoustic guitars, pianos, strings, contemplative soul searching, and grand sweeping gestures fill it out, with more roots in '[19]70s soft rock than soul." The second disc, Sasha Fierce, contains consistent electronic influences, which are displayed in songs like "Radio" and "Sweet Dreams".{{Cite web |url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2008/11/snap-judgment-b.html |title=Snap Judgment: Beyoncé's 'I Am ...

Despite being on the Sasha Fierce disc, "Ego", "Why Don't You Love Me" and "Scared of Lonely" were noted to be a meeting ground between the album's halves. According to Jennifer Vineyard of MTV News, they resemble Sasha Fierce musically, but thematically and lyrically, they are vulnerable like Beyoncé on the I Am... disc. The album formally introduces Beyoncé's alter ego Sasha Fierce. She revealed that Sasha was born during the making of her hit single "Crazy in Love" (2003). In an interview with Emmet Sullivan of People magazine, Beyoncé affirmed that her alter ego is strictly for the stage, with the editor describing Sasha Fierce as the singer's sensual, aggressive alter ego.{{Cite news |url=https://people.com/tag/eve/ |title=Beyoncé 'Still Can't Believe' Justin Was Her Backup Dancer |last=Sullivan |first=Emmet |date=November 18, 2008 |work=People |publisher=Time Inc |access-date=February 27, 2011 |archive-date=December 2, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202175933/http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20241113,00.html |url-status=live }}

"If I Were a Boy", the first single of I Am..., stands as the only song on either disc that Beyoncé did not co-write. BC Jean, who wrote most of the song's lyrics, took inspiration from a poor relationship.{{Cite web|url=http://www.nctimes.com/news/local/neighbors/article_da62ec71-408d-5aa3-86e9-7b8cebfd62bf.html |title=NEIGHBORS: Singer-songwriter ready for the spotlight |last=Frank |first=Jeff |date=March 9, 2009 |work=NC Times |publisher=Peter York |access-date=February 26, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110317104133/http://www.nctimes.com/news/local/neighbors/article_da62ec71-408d-5aa3-86e9-7b8cebfd62bf.html |archive-date=March 17, 2011 }} Beyoncé explained in Essence that "If I Were a Boy" is different from her previous songs in the sense that it is not a traditional R&B song. Music critics remarked that the song seemed to be a mixture of her hit single "Irreplaceable" (2006), Fergie's single "Big Girls Don't Cry" (2007), and Ciara's single "Like a Boy" (2007). Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times saw the song's theme of female empowerment as an expansion on that of "Irreplaceable".

The album was titled I Am... Sasha Fierce to showcase the difference between Beyoncé and her alter ego Sasha Fierce; the first disc is titled I Am... while the second is titled Sasha Fierce.

Making comparisons to a magazine, Beyoncé elaborated that I Am... Sasha Fierce was a double album and it had two covers. The I Am... cover artwork, described as "underneath all the makeup", is a portrait of Beyoncé with no visible clothing or makeup on, while the Sasha Fierce cover artwork shows Beyoncé wearing heavy makeup, a leotard, tall pointed heels, and a "cyborg"-esque metallic glove.{{cite magazine |last1=Denis |first1=Kyle |title=Here Are All of Beyonce's Studio Album Covers |url=https://www.billboard.com/photos/beyonce-album-covers-1235109316/ |magazine=Billboard |access-date=13 February 2024 |date=30 June 2022 |archive-date=February 13, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240213095556/https://www.billboard.com/photos/beyonce-album-covers-1235109316/ |url-status=live }} The cover artworks for the standard, deluxe and platinum editions of I Am...

In a 2021 interview for Harper's Bazaar, Beyoncé revealed that she based the entire project on black and white photography after being told in a meeting discussing analytics that a research discovered that her fans did not like when her photography was black and white, stating, "It pissed me off that an agency could dictate what my fans wanted based on a survey." She pointed out that she was "so exhausted and annoyed with these formulaic corporate companies" and highlighted the album's subsequent commercial success.{{Cite magazine|last1=Nasr|first1=Samira|last2=Senofonte|first2=Marni|date=August 10, 2021|title=Beyoncé's Evolution|url=https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a37039502/beyonce-evolution-interview-2021/|access-date=August 10, 2021|magazine=Harper's Bazaar|language=en-US|archive-date=June 16, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220616115252/https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a37039502/beyonce-evolution-interview-2021/|url-status=live}}
