It's About Time (Christina Milian album)

It's About Time is the second studio album by American singer and songwriter Christina Milian. It was released on March 24, 2004, by Island Records.

It's About Time served as Milian's debut in the US; the September 11 attacks occurred two weeks prior to the scheduled release of her eponymous debut studio album, and after its cancellation, Milian opted to record a new album for the market. For the production of the album, Milian worked with Bloodshy & Avant, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Cory Rooney, Warryn Campbell, Bryan-Michael Cox and Poli Paul. Milian received writing credit for seven songs on the album, often basing them on personal experiences. The style and sound of the album was compared to Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez by several critics.

Upon release, It's About Time received mixed reviews from music critics, with up-tempo tracks being acclaimed and balladry facing criticism. The album peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 55,000 units. At the 47th Annual Grammy Awards, it was nominated for Best Contemporary R&B Album. The album's lead single "Dip It Low" became Milian's most successful to date, peaking at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 and within the top 10 in numerous European countries. The second single "Whatever U Want" was less successful, peaking at number nine in the UK.
