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 No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 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 rock sound on her previous release, The Globe Sessions.

C'mon, C'mon debuted at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 185,000 copies in the United States.[12] The album has been certified Platinum in the US and Japan, selling 2.1 million units in the US as of January 2008.[13] The song "Safe and Sound" is dedicated to Crow's former boyfriend Owen Wilson and is an account of their relationship.[14]
