Shiver is the debut studio album by Australian country music artist Jamie O'Neal, released on 31 October 2000 via Mercury Nashville. After signing with the label in early 2000, she began working on the project. Keith Stegall produced the entirety of the album, with the exception of "I'm Not Gonna Do Anything Without You", which was produced by Stegall and Carson Chamberlain. O'Neal co-wrote 11 of the 13 tracks on the album.

The album was positively reviewed by music critics. It reached a peak position of number 14 on the US Top Country Albums, number two on the Heatseekers Albums, and 125 on the Billboard 200. It is her most successful album to date, being certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of 500,000 copies in the United States.

Five singles in total were released. Its lead single, "There Is No Arizona", was a huge hit and made O'Neal the first female Australian to top the US Hot Country Songs chart; its follow-up, "When I Think About Angels", also went number one, making her the first female singer to have her first two singles go number one since Deana Carter did so in 1996 and 1997 with "Strawberry Wine" and "We Danced Anyway". The title track was less successful, peaking at number 21. "I'm Not Gonna Do Anything Without You", a duet with then-Mercury label mate Mark Wills, peaked at number 31; the song was also included on Wills's fourth studio album Loving Every Minute (2001). The final single, "Frantic", peaked outside the top forty.

Following the release of this album, O'Neal recorded her second studio album titled On My Way to You, which was intended for release on October 7, 2003.[1] Although its lead single, "Every Little Thing", peaked at number 34, the album was scrapped and O'Neal went on to leave Mercury by August of 2003.[2] She would go on to sign a deal with Capitol Records Nashville to release her second studio album Brave (2005).
