Just Like You is the debut album from American Idol's eighth season contestant Allison Iraheta. It was released on December 1, 2009 through Jive Records and 19 Recordings. The lead single, "Friday I'll Be Over U", produced by Max Martin, debuted on AOL's Popeater on October 5, 2009, and was made available through digital distribution on November 3, 2009.
While on the American Idols LIVE! Tour 2009, Iraheta began writing and recording with pop and rock hit makers such as Kevin Rudolf, Howard Benson, Max Martin and David Hodges. Fellow Idol alumnus Chris Daughtry also contributed a track for the deluxe version of the album.
Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, who co-wrote "No One Else" with Pink and producer/songwriter Greg Wells, explained that "No One Else" ended up on the album after "Pink's A&R person ... played (the song) for Allison as well as the producer" and that she "wrote another song for (Just Like You)," called "Spring Cleaning," which did not make the album. "No One Else" has been around for five years, but Dioguardi wanted to "hold on to it" because in the past, she had given a song out just to release it, without considering whether the artist could convey the emotion she wanted the song to convey.
On November 4, Michael Slezak of Entertainment Weekly published the list of writer and producer credits, which reveals that Iraheta will cover "Holiday", a punk rock song written and performed by Rock Star: Supernova finalist Dilana.
