What's Your Name? is the third studio album by Adam Sandler, released in 1997. Unlike his other comedy albums, which typically mix songs with non-musical comedy skits, What's Your Name? consists mostly of songs and only includes one skit. The songs are recorded in various genres, including country, hard rock, 2 Springsteen-influenced numbers, ballad and reggae, as well as the inclusion of "Red Hooded Sweatshirt", which Sandler originally performed on Saturday Night Live in 1993.[2][1] What's Your Name? was certified gold, having sold over 500,000 copies.

"The Lonesome Kicker", a Bruce Springsteen-inspired song about the life of a lonely football kicker, was released as the lone single from the album and was accompanied by a music video that got airplay on MTV. This song also partly inspired Sandler's 1998 sports comedy film The Waterboy.
