Untamed is the major label debut studio album by American country artist Cam. It was released on December 11, 2015 by Arista and RCA records. The project was mainly produced by Jeff Bhasker, Tyler Johnson, and Cam.
The album's launch was fueled by the song "Burning House", a single released in mid 2015 that became her breakthrough hit. Untamed was nearly completed before the song's success, having been a project five years in the making. Mainly recorded in Cam's home state of California, the album's content incorporates electronic sounds mixed in with country pop elements.
The lyrical content of Untamed is derived from the scenes of Cam's own life. It addresses themes associated with heartbreak, loss, and spontaneity. Untamed received critical acclaim upon its release. Critics responded to Cam's vocal delivery, as well as the album's various musical styles. The album also achieved commercial success, reaching top positions on major Billboard charts upon its initial release.
Cam began working on Untamed in 2010, co-collaborating with Jeff Bhasker and Tyler Johnson on the album's songs and production. Bhasker is known for his production work with pop artists Bruno Mars, Lana Del Rey, and Fun. Cam initially created a Kickstarter campaign to fund the album's recording. She called the process, "a fun, long journey of self-discovery," in an interview with iHeartRadio. Cam first collaborated in songwriting with Tyler Johnson, who had been working under the wing of Jeff Bhasker. When first approaching Bhasker with the project's songs, he stated they were "not good enough". Ultimately, Bhasker collaborated with the pair to write and produce the album's material.
