Night Time, My Time is the debut studio album by American singer Sky Ferreira, released on October 29, 2013, by Capitol Records. Originally set to be released in 2011, following the singles "One" and "Obsession", Capitol repeatedly delayed the album, with many recording sessions that were held for the album going towards EPs As If! (2011) and Ghost (2012), the latter featuring critically acclaimed track "Everything Is Embarrassing".

The final result was primarily written and produced by Ferreira, Ariel Rechtshaid, Justin Raisen, and Dan Nigro, and in a departure from her previous work, musically, it is an indie rock and synth-pop album that explores 1980s pop music, 1990s grunge, and various styles of rock, while its lyrics convey themes such as failure, love, and anger. The album cover, shot by film director Gaspar Noé, controversially depicts a topless Ferreira in a shower. Night Time, My Time received positive reviews from music critics, who praised its sound; it has been recognized by numerous media outlets as one of 2013's best albums and was ranked by Pitchfork as number 43 in a list of the 200 best albums of the 2010s. It was a modest success commercially; it debuted on the US Billboard 200 at number 45 and on the Australian Albums Chart at number 40.

Night Time, My Time was preceded by the digital release of its lead single, "You're Not the One", accompanied by a music video. Capitol Records also issued "24 Hours" and "Boys" as free digital promotional singles, and although it was not released as a single, a music video was filmed for the album's title track.
