Soy El Mismo (English: "I'm the Same") is the third studio album by American singer Prince Royce. The album was released on October 8, 2013, by Sony Music Latin and became Royce's third number 1 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in the United States. With Soy el Mismo, Royce also reached a career-best peak of number 14 on the US Billboard 200.[3]

At the Latin Grammy Awards of 2014, the album received a nomination for Best Contemporary Tropical Album, Royce's second career nomination in the category.[4] Royce was then nominated for three awards at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards: Top Latin Artist, Top Latin Album, and Top Latin Song for "Darte un Beso".[5] The latter won the award for Streaming Song of the Year at the 2014 Latin Billboard Music Awards.
