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 #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and #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 experimental influences on her previous release, Globe Sessions.

C'mon, C'mon debuted at #2 on the UK Album Chart and on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 185,000 copies in the United States.^[1] The album has been certified Platinum in the U.S. and Japan, selling 2.1 million units in the U.S. as of January 2008.^[2]
