I've Failed You is the sixth studio album by Canadian heavy metal band Kittie, released on August 30, 2011, through eOne Music. The album builds on the sound of their previous album In the Black (2009) and features more personal and introspective lyrics, drawing from various events of turmoil that vocalist and guitarist Morgan Lander experienced in the two years following the aforementioned album's release. It was produced by Siegfried Meier and was primarily recorded at Beach Road Studios in London, Ontario; Ivy Jenkins' bass tracks were recorded separately in the United States, as immigration difficulties prevented her from travelling to Canada.
I've Failed You received mixed reviews from critics; whilst some praised its production and cohesion, others criticized its generic songwriting and perceived lack of change from the band's previous albums. The album debuted at number 178 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 3,000 copies in its first week. Between August 2011 and May 2012, Kittie embarked on tours of the United States, Canada and Australia. Due to rising costs associated with touring and writing new music and decreasing interest in their live shows, I've Failed You would be Kittie's last album for almost 13 years, until the release of Fire (2024).
