In This Skin is the third studio album by American recording artist Jessica Simpson. The album was released on August 19, 2003, by Columbia Records. It was reissued on March 2, 2004, with three new songs. Simpson began taking more creative control of her music with the album, both musically and lyrically, co-writing 10 out of 14 tracks on the album, thus moving away from the teen pop styles of her previous two albums, Sweet Kisses (1999) and Irresistible (2001), as well as including elements of Middle Eastern music, dance, acoustic, and pop rock, while also lyrically talking about more mature subject matters. The album was a huge success in North America, reaching number two on the US Billboard 200 and being certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Internationally, In This Skin went on to become the thirty-fifth best selling album of 2004. It was ranked number 153 on the list of the top-selling albums of the 2000s by Billboard magazine. As of 2020, In This Skin has sold 7 million copies worldwide.
The album spawned four singles. Two top 20 hits worldwide, "With You" and "Take My Breath Away", which peaked at number fourteen and twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively. "Sweetest Sin" and "Angels", were released as the lead and final single, both of them failed to make an impact on charts. Simpson performed songs from In This Skin on a number of occasions. In middle 2004, she embarked on her second headlining tour, titled Reality Tour, to promote the album.
