Pash is an album released by Australian recording artist Kate Ceberano in May 1998.
The lead single, "Pash" was released in December 1997, and eventually peaked at number 10 in March 1998 and was certified gold. Two further singles were released from the album: "Love Is Alive" and "Time to Think", but both failed to reach the ARIA top 50.
Ceberano stated in her 2014 autobiography that the album Pash is "naked, unabashed pop" but the most personal album she has ever made: "It had taken me fifteen years to get to the point where I was confident enough to make decisions and to see them through. Before Pash I had been too willing to let others make the decisions for me, even when it was my band and my face on the album cover. I didn't trust my own instincts as an artist. Pash was the artistic breakthrough I needed. I wrote or co-wrote all the tracks".
Ceberano explains that she wrote the song "Courage" with Mark Goldenberg as a wedding present for her mother. She was inspired by her mother's statement, "I can't believe I've found a man who has the courage to love me".
