Jason Derulo (stylized as Jason Derülo) is the debut album by American singer Jason Derulo, released on February 26, 2010. The album was produced entirely by J. R. Rotem and was supported by five singles: “Whatcha Say,” “In My Head,” “Ridin' Solo,” “What If,” and “The Sky's the Limit.” “Whatcha Say” topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Derulo’s first U.S. number-one single, while “In My Head” peaked at number five on the Hot 100 and reached number one in the UK and Australia. “Ridin’ Solo” sold over three million digital copies in the United States and became a top-10 hit in several countries. “What If” charted moderately on the Billboard Hot 100, and “The Sky’s the Limit,” released as a single in select territories, reached the top 70 on the UK Singles Chart.

The album blends electropop and R&B, with prominent use of Auto-Tune and synth-driven production. Critical reception was mixed: some praised Derulo's vocal ability and the catchiness of certain songs, while others criticized it as gimmicky and lacking a distinct artistic identity. Jason Derulo debuted at number 11 on the US Billboard 200, and charted within the top ten of the UK Albums Chart and Irish Albums Chart. Jason Derülo is certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
