Untamed is the debut major-label studio album and second overall album by American country music artist Cam. It was released on December 11, 2015, by Arista and RCA Records. The project was mainly produced by Jeff Bhasker, Tyler Johnson, and Cam.
The album's launch was fueled by the song "Burning House", a single released in mid 2015 that became her breakthrough hit. Untamed was nearly completed before the song's success, having been a project five years in the making. Mainly recorded in Cam's home state of California, the album's content incorporates electronic sounds mixed in with country pop elements.
The lyrical content of Untamed is derived from the scenes of Cam's own life. It addresses themes associated with heartbreak, loss, and spontaneity. Untamed received critical acclaim upon its release. Critics responded to Cam's vocal delivery, as well as the album's various musical styles. The album also achieved commercial success, reaching top positions on major Billboard charts upon its initial release.
