Hits is a 2009 compilation album by Seal , released by Warner Bros. Records . It is Seal's second compilation album following 2004's Best 1991–2004 . The album was released on two formats, a 1-disc standard edition which featured 19 tracks and a 2-disc deluxe edition which featured 34 tracks. Both versions of the album included two new songs "I Am Your Man", composed by Ashford & Simpson and previously recorded by Edwin Starr , Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers and The Four Tops , most notably on their "Live & In Concert" album, and "Thank You Fa Lettin' Me Be Myself", by Sly & The Family Stone .
The cover also serves as the artwork for the 2008 single "It's a Man's Man's Man's World".
The single disc edition tends to include many of the single versions of the songs, whereas the deluxe edition replaces them with the album versions, or as in "The Beginning"'s case, a remix.
