Meet the Girl Next Door is the second album of American R&B recording artist Lil' Mo, released on April 29, 2003 by Elektra Records, it was her last album produced under the company as well as the last to feature a collaboration with close friend, rapper and producer Missy Elliott. Recorded during Mo's eighth-month preagnancy, it features guest appearances by Fabolous, Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott, Chucky Thompson, Bryan-Michael Cox, Warryn Campbell, Precision and rapper Free.

Less than a year after Mo's debut album was certified Gold by the RIAA, Mo began recording a follow up to the album. She decided to work with producers that "didn't get the credit they deserved." In 2002, Lil' Mo developed an interest in communications after her work as a part-time anchor for Baltimore urban radio station WXYV-FM. That same year, Mo began work on her second album, Meet the Girl Next Door. Mo revealed to Billboard magazine that she was going to purposely use a different sound for the effort in hopes of convincing the public to overlook her credibility for "Superwoman Pt. II". As early as December 2002, the album generated three singles, "4Ever", "21 Answers" and "Ten Commandments". The former being the only successful, alongside being granted a music video release. On April 29, 2003, Meet the Girl Next Door was released to favorable reviews and mild charting on Billboard 200. Promotion for the album was limited; according to Lil' Mo, this was largely due to the fact that she was pregnant and Elektra did not give her proper support. Despite minimal promotion, Mo went on to perform the album singles on very few shows, including Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Soul Train.
