Stacie Orrico is the second studio album by American singer Stacie Orrico. It was released by ForeFront Records and Virgin Records on March 25, 2003, in the United States. Initially conceived as a Contemporary Christian music album, much in style of Orrico's debut album Genuine (2000), the album was titled Say It Again and expected to be released in 2002, featuring production by Anthony Dent and Tedd T, among others. Additional recording sessions with mainstream producers Dallas Austin and The Underdogs led to a different musical direction however and resulted in the renaming of the project. Stylistically, the album mixes the singer's native Christian music with more pop and R&B styles, but also features incorporation of teen pop and dance music.

Stacie Orrico received generally favorable reviews from music critics who praised the songs, but some said that it was mixed with different genres. The album peaked at number fifty-nine on the US Billboard 200, while also reaching the top spot on Billboard's Top Christian Albums, and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It peaked in the top ten in different countries, including Japan and Norway, and the top twenty in Austria, Germany, New Zealand, and Switzerland. Stacie Orrico produced the international top ten hits "Stuck" and "(There's Gotta Be) More to Life" and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album, but lost to Michael W. Smith.
