Lucky is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge, released by Island Records on February 10, 2004. The album made a debut on Billboard 200 chart at No. 15, with almost 92,000 copies sold.

The albums lead single, "Breathe", earned Etheridge a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. "Tuesday Morning" was dedicated to the memory of Mark Bingham and his family and friends, paying tribute to all the heroes of 9/11.

Shortly after the album's release, Etheridge was diagnosed with breast cancer and was forced to cancel all promotion to undergo chemotherapy treatments.
