Touched is a Michael Sweet solo album self-released in 2007. Unlike most of Sweet's previous albums, the album is influenced by classical sound (rather than his usual rock or metal sound). The album is dedicated to his wife, Kyle, who was suffering from stage-four ovarian cancer.
Touched has a collection of five cover songs originally performed by iconic artists, including Billy Preston, Billy Joel, Badfinger, Peggy Seeger, Amanda McBroom, and Chicago, as well as classical versions of four Stryper ballads, and an all-original song, "My Love, My Life, My Flame".
