Leah is the debut album by Australian pop singer Leah Haywood. It was released on 23 July 2001. Originally, it was meant to be titled after one of the tracks, "My Own Thing", but was changed close to the release date. A track, "One Word", was used on the second Australian soundtrack release of the American TV show Dawson's Creek . Leah peaked at No. 40 on the ARIA Albums Chart. All of the tracks, except "Take a Chance" (which was solely written by Haywood herself), were co-written by Haywood and other songwriters and producers including Paul Begaud and Jorgen Eloffson.
