Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits album by American country singer Jo Dee Messina. It was released on May 20, 2003 by Curb Records in the United States and June 2, 2003 in the United Kingdom.^[2]

After a successful period which spawned five country number one hits and two platinum albums, Burn (2000) and I'm Alright (1998), Messina took a break from the music industry and released a Christmas album titled A Joyful Noise (2002). The compilation includes eleven of Messina's country hits. Included on Greatest Hits is four new tracks: "Was That My Life", "I Wish", a cover of the Jessica Andrews song "Wishing Well", and "You Belong in the Sun", with "Was That My Life" and "I Wish" becoming singles, peaking at number 21 and 15 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

The compilation became a success, becoming her second number one album on the Top Country Albums chart following Burn and was Messina's then highest-charting entry on the Billboard 200, debuting at number 14. The album was later certified Gold by the RIAA for shipments of 500,000 copies. The Enhanced CD version of the album includes the video for "Bring On the Rain".
