Deborah Cox is the self-titled debut album by Canadian singer Deborah Cox. It was released in the United States on September 12, 1995 by Arista Records. Executive produced by Clive Davis, Cox is a blend of R&B, soul and hip hop soul and features productions from songwriters and producers such as Babyface, Daryl Simmons and Dallas Austin.

A commercial and critical success, the album has been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for sales of over 500,000 units, and earned Cox a Juno Award for Best R&B/Soul Recording at the 1996 Juno Awards.

"Sentimental" was released as the lead single from the album, and peaked at number 27 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 4 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The second single "Who Do U Love" fared better on the singles chart, peaking at number 17 on the Hot 100, while reaching the top of Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs, selling 500,000 copies domestically.[2] It also attained worldwide success, peaking at number two on the New Zealand Singles Chart and reaching the Top 20 on other international charts.
