For Your Entertainment is the debut studio album by American singer Adam Lambert, released on November 23, 2009, by RCA Records. He started recording the album in May 2009, shortly after the end of the eighth season of American Idol, where he finished in second place. During the recording sessions, Lambert enlisted various pop and rock producers, such as Rob Cavallo, Dr. Luke, Max Martin, Kristian Lundin, Shellback, Greg Wells, Linda Perry, Jeff Bhasker, Ryan Tedder and Howard Benson.

A pop record, For Your Entertainment consists of six songs co-written by Lambert, while also having contributions from fellow artists Pink, Lady Gaga, Orianthi and Justin Hawkins. Following its release, album received primary positive reviews from music critics, with The Washington Post calling it "an instant classic". Commercially, For Your Entertainment peaked inside the top ten in seven countries, including Australia, Canada and the United States, where it reached third spot on the Billboard 200 chart and eventually was certified Gold by Recording Industry Association of America.

Three singles have been released from the album worldwide: "For Your Entertainment", "Whataya Want from Me" and "If I Had You", with the second reaching the top ten positions in sixteen countries. Four more singles were released from the record in selected countries, with each having a moderate success. The album was supported by Lambert's first concert tour, the 2010 Glam Nation Tour.
