My Truth is the second studio album by Swedish recording artist Robyn. It was released on 17 May 1999 through BMG Sweden. Robyn collaborated with producers including Lindström & Ekhé, Christian Falk, Billy Mann, Thomas Rusiak and Masters at Work during its recording. A pop and R&B record, My Truth is an autobiographical album for which Robyn co-wrote all fourteen songs. Certain lyrics reflect on the abortion the singer had in the fall of 1998, which sparked controversy when RCA Records began formulating a North American release. When she refused to make alterations to the album per request by the label, the plans to release My Truth outside of Sweden were cancelled.
Sweden-based music critics were generally positive towards My Truth and commended Robyn's growth as a songwriter. At the Swedish Grammis Awards in 2000, the album won the award for Female Pop/Rock Artist. Overseas critics were divided in their opinions of My Truth; they felt it was more mature than the singer's debut album Robyn Is Here (1995), but criticised the lack of catchy hooks. The album peaked at number two on the Sverigetopplistan albums chart and received a platinum certification by the Swedish Recording Industry Association (GLF). My Truth was supported by four singles—"Electric", "Play", "My Only Reason" and "Main Thing". Lead single "Electric" achieved commercial success; it peaked at number six on the Swedish singles chart and was certified gold.
