Just Like You is the second studio album by American R&B singer Keyshia Cole. The album was released on September 25, 2007 through Geffen Records. It was nominated for Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards that was held February 2008, but lost to Ne-Yo's Because of You. As of December 2007, the album has been certified platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America and remains Cole's highest-selling album to date with 1.7 million copies sold.
Cole started work on her second album shortly after the release of her debut album, The Way It Is. About the album, Cole says, "This album is more about you, inside, and how you need to get yourself together, rather than pointing at somebody else and saying, 'You don't treat me right, you don't do this.' I'm truly lovin it, I listen to it myself. The last album, I didn't really listen to until I went on tour. [Because] when you listen to your own experience, it's like, I don't wanna hear it anymore. I do write from my personal experiences, but I think it's very important to young women."
Guests include Missy Elliott, Lil' Kim, Too $hort, Amina, Anthony Hamilton, Young Dro, T.I., Chink Santana and Piper. The US version has Cole's guest appearance on the song 'Last Night' by Diddy while the UK version has that, along with Boyfriend/Girlfriend by C-Side and (When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me by Sean Paul and the International Version contains both tracks.
