The Story of Billy (Chinese: 24個比利; pinyin: 24 gè bǐ lì) is Taiwanese Mandopop artist Wilber Pan's (Chinese: 潘瑋柏) ninth studio album. It was released by Universal Music Taiwan on 31 August 2012. The pre-ordering of the album began on 10 August 2012 in Taiwan and included a limited edition Rubik's Cube with each pre-order purchase. The album marked the comeback of Pan to the music scene, 19 months after the release of 808 in January 2011.
A second edition, The Story of Billy (Flagship Edition) (CD+DVD) (24個比利 冠軍旗艦影音版) was released on 9 October 2012, which contains a remix version of "The Story of Billy (24個比利)" and a bonus DVD with six music videos. The version released in Taiwan included an entry pass to "Will Pan Absolutely Yours Celebration Concert" (潘瑋柏「專屬於你」慶功演唱會) held on 13 October at Neo19 in Taipei.
The album's title was inspired by The Minds of Billy Milligan, a 1981 non-fiction novel written by Daniel Keyes about the true account of multiple personality serial criminal Billy Milligan. It is a breakthrough for Pan as a songwriter with contribution of six songs on the album, including the title track "The Story of Billy (24個比利)".

"Baby Tonight" is written and composed by Pan himself, "Don't Wanna Wake Up" is the Mandarin version of "Baby Tonight" and the lyrics is penned by Taiwan lyricist Yao Ruo Long. On 25 July 2012, the music videos of "Baby Tonight" and "Don't Wanna Wake Up" were released on Pan's official YouTube video channel.
