Je suis et je resterai (English: I am and I will remain) is the debut studio album by French R&B and pop singer Leslie, released on 13 November 2002. The album was released through M6 Interactions. It contains the four singles, "Le bon choix", "Je suis et je resterai", "On n'sait jamais", and "Pardonner".The album was certified Gold by the Syndicat national de l'édition phonographique (SNEP) for French sales of 130,000 copies.
The album itself debuted at number 61 on the French Albums Chart, then reached its peak rank at number 41. Overall, the album lasted 37 weeks on the chart, establishing Bourgouin as a well known R&B singer, and paved the way for other artists to popularize R&B as well.
Prior to working on her debut studio album "Je suis et je resterai", she participated in the show Graines de Star (Stardust in English) in 2001, leading to her winning the musical category for the show. Shortly after this, it led to her being discovered by producer(s) Maleko, Georges Padey, Cutee B, David "Little D" Adet (who were associated with EMC Records and M6 Interactions) and produced her debut studio album, and wrote some of the lyrics on the album.
