I'll Stay Me is the first studio album by American country music artist Luke Bryan. The album was released on August 14, 2007 via Capitol Records Nashville. The album produced three singles with "All My Friends Say", "We Rode in Trucks", and "Country Man", all of which charted in the Top 40 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. "All My Friends Say" and "Country Man" both made the Top 10 at numbers 5 and 10, respectively. "We Rode In Trucks" reached number 33. This is Bryan's only studio album to have a neotraditional country sound, while all of his subsequent albums have a crossover-friendly country pop sound, as well as his only album to not produce a number one single. Bryan co-wrote 10 of the 11 songs on the album.
