I'm Movin' On is the third studio album recorded by American singer CeCe Peniston, released on September 9, 1996 by A&M Records. The set that supposed to be the artist's deeper foray into mainstream R&B followed the pattern of her previous release Thought 'Ya Knew (1994), in which Peniston began her unsuccessful transition into the R&B market. The label heavily focusing on hip-hop influenced R&B jams and a variety of slow ballads invited several producers to join her session, in front of with Dave Hall and Gordon Chambers, who co-wrote the title track. This time, Peniston reprised her fellow collaboration with Steve Hurley on two songs. "The Last to Know" that she co-wrote, and "Don't Know What to Do". None of these would be released on single, though. In order to push her musical horizons further, A&M also featured JoJo Hailey and Tenina Stevens (also known as Suga T), as the first time ever that another artists would be vocally credited on her record.
Upon release, the album garnered mixed to favorable reviews from music critics. Most of them criticized the predominant promoting of R&B tracks, as well as her label for insistence on Peniston abandoning dance community in favor of urban arena. In terms of chart performance, the album has been viewed as a commercial failure with no entry on the Billboard 200, nor in the overseas. The only out of two released singles that cracked the Billboard Hot 100 list was the pilot "Movin' On", which climbed to number eighty-free, eventually. The second was named "Before I Lay (You Drive Me Crazy)". Neither I'm Movin' On was accompanied by a worldwide tour.
