Denials Delusions and Decisions is the debut studio album by American soul singer Jaguar Wright. Released by MCA on January 29, 2002, the album incorporates elements of soul, R&B, funk, hip-hop, and jazz. Wright's lyrics center on relationships, breakups, family, and self-love. Preceding its release, Wright drew buzz with her backup vocals on Jay-Z's MTV Unplugged performance, as well as the use of single "The What-If's" in a Coca-Cola commercial shortly after the album's release.

The album drew generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised Wright's vocals, songwriting, and production. The album debuted at number 56 on the Billboard 200 and peaked within the top 20 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, although it received limited promotion from MCA, which would be absorbed by Geffen Records the following year. The album also spawned three singles: "Ain't Nobody Playin'", "I Can't Wait", and "The What If's". The latter was promoted by a music video inspired by D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" and reached number 24 on the Adult R&B Songs chart.
