Home (sometimes stylized as HOME) is the second studio album by South Korean singer-songwriter Roy Kim, released and distributed on October 8, 2014 through CJ E&M Music. The album features nine tracks in total, and produced a top-five hit which shares the same name as the title of the album. As of July 2016, Home has sold over 12,000 physical copies and about 800,000 individual track downloads in Kim's native country (see Roy Kim discography).

In February 2014, while Kim was studying at Georgetown University, it was announced that he had signed his exclusive contract with CJ E&M Music and had plans to release his second full-length album in the autumn of that year. In June 2014, Kim confirmed that he had begun working on the album through a handwritten letter to fans, saying "I'm preparing my second album so please just wait a little more!" In September, the album entitled Home was officially announced and given an October release date.

Home involved participation from numerous musicians, including Eric Darken, Dan Needham, Gary Lunn, Marc Urselli, and Sungha Jung.

On September 21, 2014, Kim uploaded an acoustic performance of the song "12 O'Clock" from his debut studio album, Love Love Love (2013), onto his official YouTube channel, stating "2nd album coming real soon. Next full moon" and informing fans of the album's impending release. A teaser image for the album was revealed on September 29, along with a confirmed release date (October 8). The next day, a handwritten image of the album's track list was posted through Kim's Instagram account. On October 2, the official music video teaser for "Home" was released via YouTube.

In prior to the album's release, a lyric video for the song "Nothing Lasts Forever" was uploaded through CJ E&M Music's official YouTube channel. The lyric video, featuring time-lapse footage of auroras, was created in collaboration with South Korean astrophotographer Kwon O-chul. Kim exhibited the video for free at Gwanghwarang, Sejong Center from October 3 to 7.
