I Owe You is the debut studio album by American contemporary gospel singer Kierra "Kiki" Sheard. I Owe You debuted at #1 on the Billboard Gospel charts and peaked at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. Other Billboard chart entries include #4 on the Top Christian charts, #29 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Charts, and #115 on the Billboard 200.

The album's lead single "You Don't Know" written specifically for Kierra and produced by hitmaker Rodney Jerkins became a smash hit as well. I Owe You was nominated for three Stellar Awards for "Contemporary Female Vocalist of the Year", "Urban Song of the Year", and "Contemporary CD of the Year". Sheard was also nominated for multiple Soul Train Music Awards, an NAACP Image Award, and multiple Dove Awards.

In 2001, Kierra's mother Karen Clark-Sheard was faced with a life-threatening crisis when a blood vessel burst during a scheduled hernia surgery. Her doctors only gave her a 2% chance of survival due to her complications. After the blood clot was surgically removed, Clark-Sheard fell into a coma. The coma lasted a week, but she made a miraculous recovery. Clark-Sheard's near-death experience is mentioned several times in Kierra's song "You Don't Know".
