C'mon, C'mon (album)

C'mon, C'mon is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, released on April 8, 2002, in the United Kingdom and April 16, 2002, in the United States. Lead single "Soak Up the Sun" peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of her biggest hits since "All I Wanna Do". The album was arguably her most pop-influenced to date, a big departure from the folk and rock sound on her previous release, The Globe Sessions.

C'mon, C'mon debuted at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 185,000 copies in the United States. The album has been certified Platinum in the US and Japan, selling 2.1 million units in the US as of January 2008. The song "Safe and Sound" is dedicated to Crow's former boyfriend Owen Wilson and is an account of their relationship.
