Touched is a Michael Sweet solo album released in 2007. Unlike most of Sweet's previous albums, the album is derived in a classical sound rather than his usual rock or metal sound.^[1] The album was dedicated to his wife, Kyle, who was suffering from stage-four ovarian cancer.^[2]

Touched has a collection of covers from other musicians including Billy Preston, and Billy Joel, as well as some classical versions of some of Stryper's ballads, and an all original song written by Michael called "My Love, My Life, My Flame".
