Pieces of You is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Jewel, released on February 28, 1995 by Atlantic Recordings. The album was produced by Ben Keith, who has also produced works for artists such as Neil Young and Patsy Cline.

Though it made little impact initially, the single "Who Will Save Your Soul" eventually received airplay and the album peaked at #4 on Billboard 200 almost exactly two years after its release. Other hits included were "Foolish Games" and "You Were Meant for Me" as well as the UK single "Morning Song".

After two years, the album was re-released featuring the re-recorded versions of "You Were Meant for Me" and "Foolish Games". Despite a somewhat mixed critical response, the album is listed as one of the "Definitive 200" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[4]

As of 2010, the album had sold 7.3 million copies.[5] It was certified 12x Platinum for shipments of 12 million copies in the U.S.,[6] making it one of the best selling debut albums of all time.
