La Doña is the eleventh studio album by Teena Marie, released on May 11, 2004, by Cash Money Records and Universal Records.

The album includes guest contributions from Rick James ("I Got You" - this was the last recording James made before his death), Gerald Levert ("A Rose by Any Other Name"), Common ("Revelations 3:8 Introduction"), Birdman ("Off the Chain"), MC Lyte ("The Mackin' Game") and Marie's daughter, Alia Rose.

The album peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200, Marie's highest placing (and first top 20 entry) on that chart. It also reached #3 on the R&B Albums chart.

The lead-off single "Still in Love" (which samples Al Green's 1972 track "What a Wonderful Thing Love Is")^[1] was Marie's first Top 30 hit on the US Hot R&B Singles chart for 14 years, peaking at #23. It was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005 in the category Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.

The follow-up single "A Rose By Any Other Name", a duet with Gerald Levert peaked at #53 on the US Hot R&B Singles chart.
