Robyn Is Here is the debut studio album by Swedish singer Robyn. It was originally released on 13 October 1995 in Sweden by Ricochet Records, Ariola Records and BMG. The original edition of the album only received a release in Sweden, Japan and certain Asian and Latin American territories. However, a revised edition received an international release throughout 1997 and 1998. The album peaked at number eight on the Swedish chart and was certified double platinum by the Swedish Recording Industry Association (GLF). In the United States, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA),[4] and had sold more than 922,000 copies by June 2010, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[5] Worldwide, the album has sold over 1.5 million copies.[6]

The album is mainly written and produced by Swedish production team Ghost, with all songs co-written by Robyn. Denniz Pop and Max Martin produced two of the album's four singles, "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love". Both peaked at number seven in the US, while the latter peaked at number eight in the UK.

On 1 June 2004 BMG released Robyn's Best. While titled like a greatest hits album, it is a repackaging of the US edition of Robyn Is Here.
