Jennette McCurdy is the only studio album by American singer, writer and former actress Jennette McCurdy, released on June 5, 2012, by Capitol Records Nashville. McCurdy was 21 days shy of her 20th birthday at the time of the release and co-wrote six of the ten songs on the album. The majority of the album was produced by Paul Worley, who also produced her debut extended play, Not That Far Away (2010), while Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts produced the album's first two tracks. One single was released from the album, "Generation Love", which charted for seven weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, peaking at number 44.
Upon its release, the album failed to chart in any market. McCurdy left Capitol Nashville shortly after the release of the album.
Background and development McCurdy developed an interest in country music after her grandmother introduced her to Patsy Cline's music when she was seven years old. At age eight, McCurdy appeared in Faith Hill's music video "The Way You Love Me". In 2007, aged 15, she was cast as Sam Puckett in Nickelodeon’s iCarly. When she was not on set, she would write songs. In an interview, McCurdy said:
Release and aftermath After the album failed to chart and after the release of the album, McCurdy confirmed that she had left Capitol Nashville, citing conflicts with a new series in which she was cast. In 2022, McCurdy described her music career as "a much-regretted country music blip".
