I'm Yours is the fifth album by country music artist Linda Davis. Her only album for DreamWorks Records, it was released in 1998. The album comprises seven new songs and seven previously released songs. Of its new recordings, "I Wanna Remember This", the title track, and "From the Inside Out" were all released as singles, charting on the Billboard country charts between 1998 and early 1999.

Content

Seven of the album's songs are the original recordings of songs from Davis's older albums. Chronologically, these songs are "Three Way Tie" (from In a Different Light, 1991); "Company Time," "Love Didn't Do It," and "In Pictures" (from Shoot for the Moon, 1994); "Some Things Are Meant to Be," "A Love Story in the Making," and "What Do I Know" (from Some Things Are Meant to Be, 1996). All of these were singles for Davis, except for "In Pictures" and "What Do I Know", which were both singles for other artists: the former by Alabama from its 1995 album of the same name, and the latter by Ricochet from its 1996 self-titled debut.

Of the seven new tracks, three charted on the Billboard country charts between late 1998 and early 1999. The first to do so was "I Wanna Remember This", also included in the soundtrack to the 1998 film Black Dog, at #20, followed by the title track at #38 and "From the Inside Out" at #60. Also included is "Make It Through," a duet with Randy Travis.
