Standing Tall is the debut studio album by former Hear'Say singer Kym Marsh. It was released on 21 July 2003[5] in the United Kingdom by Island Records.
The album was preceded by two single releases: "Cry", the lead single, and "Come on Over" which reached number 2 and 10 respectively on the UK Singles Chart. Standing Tall peaked at number 9 on the UK Albums Chart after selling 19,821 copies in the first week.[6] Marsh's third single, "Sentimental", was released in October 2003 and stalled at number 35, resulting in her being dropped by the record label.
