Real Girl is the debut solo studio album by British singer Mutya Buena. It was released on 4 June 2007 via Island Records. Following her departure from British girl group Sugababes in December 2005, Buena later signed a new record deal with Island Records, which was the same label Sugababes was signed to, and began work on the album.
Upon release, Real Girl received mixed reviews from critics. Commercially, the album peaked at ten on the UK Albums Chart, and charted in four additional countries, including Scotland and Ireland. The album was supported by three singles; "Real Girl", its lead single, debuted at two on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Buena’s first top ten single there, and charted within the top ten in seven additional countries, becoming Buena's most successful single to date. The album's second and third singles, "Just a Little Bit" and "B Boy Baby", failed to match the success of the lead single, peaking below the top 50 in the UK, causing Island to drop Buena in 2008. Real Girl also contains the singles "This is Not Real Love" with George Michael and "Song 4 Mutya (Out of Control)" with Groove Armada, which both peaked within the top 15 in the UK.
