So Real is the debut studio album by American singer Mandy Moore. The album was released on December 7, 1999, in the United States by Epic Records. It was part of the teen-pop revival which saw other teen artists such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson release their debut albums that same year to commercial and critical success. Conceptually, the album addresses themes such as teenage love, romance and heartbreak, all of which were common subjects in teen pop music at the time. So Real became a moderate hit in the United States, reaching a peak of 31 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as well as being certified Platinum by the RIAA, for shipments & sales of over 1 million. The album spawned a top 50 hit with "Candy" and went gold within three months in the RIAA. Five months following the release of So Real, it was reissued as I Wanna Be with You, which also served as Moore's debut album internationally.
