This Is Me is the debut album by Canadian R&B singer Jully Black. Released in 2005, the album debuted at number 34 on Canada's national albums chart.

Singles released off the album include, "Stay The Night," "Sweat Of Your Brow", "5x Love/Material Things", and "I Travelled". In the summer of 2005, "Sweat of Your Brow" was a significant airplay hit in Canada.

While the album was heavily promoted, sales were disappointing. According to the president of the Canadian Recording Industry Association, as told to the Canadian Press, online file sharing cut into the album's sales. In the first two weeks, 2.8 million free download requests were made for This Is Me, but just 15,000 records were sold.
