Coco is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat. The album was released on July 10, 2007, in the United States through Universal Republic. After her prominence on MySpace - following several shots at singing competitions - the singer enlisted English producer Mikal Blue to help her bringing her sound to the forefront, thus recording what would be her debut album. Critics were ambivalent towards the album, with some praising its melodies and her charm throughout the record, while others criticized its clichéd lyrics and monotonous sound.
Its lead single, "Bubbly", released on May 15, 2007, was a huge international hit, which led her to attain significant notoriety, prompting the album to debut at number five on the US Billboard 200, selling 51,000 copies in its first week. It also became Caillat's best-selling album to date, selling 2,100,000 copies in the United States and over 3,000,000 copies around the world. It peaked inside the top-ten in four countries and top-twenty in over eight nations. Caillat supported the album with the Coco World Tour, as well as other two singles: "Realize" and "The Little Things", that became minor hits. "Somethin' Special" was released as a promo support the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, while "Midnight Bottle" was a promotional single and a success in Brazil.
