I'm Not So Tough is the third studio album by American country music artist Mindy McCready, released September 14, 1999 via BNA Records; it was her last album with the label before getting dropped.[8] The album was produced with new collaborators Billy Joe Walker Jr. and Csaba Petocz.

The album itself received a much more mixed reception from music critics and was less commercially successful than her previous two releases, hitting number 17 on the US Top Country Albums chart. Only two singles in total were released from the album, "One in a Million" and "All I Want Is Everything", the former only being included on the international edition of the album. The two singles both hit number 57 on the US Hot Country Songs chart. As of 2013, the album has sold 144,000 copies, a commercial failure compared to her previous albums.[9]
