In This Skin: Collector's Edition is the reissue of American singer-songwriter Jessica Simpson's third studio album In This Skin (2003). It was released on March 2, 2004 by Columbia Records. Simpson worked with producers including Billy Mann to refine the material.

The first news about the third studio album by Jessica Simpson began circulating in late 2002, about a year after the release of her then latest studio album, Irresistible. Simpson said she wanted to write songs for her third album. In an interview with MTV in October 2002, Nick Lachey, her then-husband, revealed that Jessica was back in the studio, working on a new album. He said: "She's finally writing her own music, which I have always said she could do forever, but she had always been shy to get out there and do it. Jessica's a great writer, and she's really doing her songwriting from the heart ". Over the sound of the album, Lachey said: "It's a much more organic album and more true to itself," he continued, "All live instruments and it's very musical". After the confirmation, Jessica gave an interview to the press, in which she stated that she had met with Damon Elliott, an American music producer who previously worked with the likes of Beyoncé, Pink, Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera. Later on, other producers signed on to contribute to Simpsons album, among those included Billy Mann, known for working with Ricky Martin, Backstreet Boys, Cher and Celine Dion, another producer confirmed at this meeting was Rob Fusari who, like the other producers, worked with Simpson on her first album.

In January 2003, in an interview at the American Music Awards, Andy Marvel revealed he was writing several songs for her album. Columbia Records confirmed the date for album release would be August 19, 2003, to be entitled In This Skin. Furthermore, other confirmed producers included Keith Thomas, Rick Wake and Andrew Williams. In January 2004, Simpson announced the reissue of In This Skin, subtitled In This Skin: Collector's Edition.
