Songs About Jane is the debut studio album by American pop rock band Maroon 5. The album was released on June 25, 2002, by Octone. It became a sleeper hit with the help of five singles that attained chart success, led by "Harder to Breathe", "This Love", and "She Will Be Loved". This is the band's only album to feature founding drummer Ryan Dusick (excluding Kara's Flowers releases).

The album was re-released on October 14, 2003 by Octone Records and J Records respectively, becoming a huge international commercial success, and received acclaim from fans and critics. It topped the album charts in Australia, France, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, and reached the top-ten in 17 other countries. At the end of 2004, the album reached the top-ten of the US Billboard 200 chart. It had sold nearly 2.7 million copies by the end of 2004, and over 5.1 million copies in the U.S. by August 2015. By 2007, it had sold 10 million copies worldwide.

On June 5, 2012, the band released the album's 10th anniversary edition, to coincide with their fourth studio album Overexposed. The anniversary edition features demos of all the album tracks, plus other B-sides and demos. It also features an EPK and behind the scenes footage of the album.

To date, fans and critics consider Songs About Jane as the best album that the band has made.
