Bear Witness is the first and only studio album by Australian band I'm Talking although, in 1988, they released a remix album, titled Dancing. The album was released in August 1986 by Regular Records and peaked at No. 14 on the Australian Album Charts. The album yielded three singles, "Do You Wanna Be?" (released in May 1986 and reaching No. 9 on the Australian Singles Chart), "Holy Word" (released in August 1986 and reaching No. 8 on the Australian Singles Chart) and "How Can It Be?" (released in October 1986). At the 1987 ARIA Music Awards Richard Alan, responsible for the album's cover, was nominated for 'Best Cover Artist'.

The band received considerable international interest and as a result I'm Talking undertook a 36-date UK tour supporting Five Star.

In October 2010, Bear Witness (1986) was listed in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums. A compilation album containing songs from the 100 albums was released in November 2010, which included the band's track, "Trust Me"
