Speak Your Mind is the debut studio album by English singer Anne-Marie, released on 27 April 2018, through Major Tom's, Asylum Records, and Atlantic Records. Anne-Marie announced the album, a pop and EDM record, on the 21st of February, 2018, and it was made available for pre-order two days later. The album was recorded from 2015 to 2018 at various studios, and the production was handled by Jennifer Decilveo, Nick Monson, Amir Amor, Chris Loco, Marshmello, The Invisible Men, MNEK, TMS, Teddy Geiger, Fred Ball, Fraser T. Smith, Jack Patterson of Clean Bandit, Mark Ralph, David Guetta, and Steve Mac, alongside others. Producer Marshmello makes a guest appearance and is the sole guest on the album's standard track listing, although producers Clean Bandit and David Guetta, alongside Sean Paul, appear on the album's various reissues.

The album was supported by seven singles. The lead single, "Alarm", was commercially successful, charting at number 16 on the UK singles chart and number 7 on the ARIA Charts in Australia, where the single was certified 2× Platinum. It would eventually peak at number 3 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart in the United States. The second single, "Ciao Adios" was more successful in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 9 on the UK singles chart and certifying 2× Platinum. The third and fourth singles, "Heavy" and "Then" were modestly successful in the UK, while the fifth single, "Friends" (featuring Marshmello) was successful worldwide, charting at number 4 on the UK singles chart, while becoming Anne-Marie's first single on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping multiple charts worldwide. The sixth single, "2002" was also commercially successful, becoming Anne-Marie's highest-charting solo single in the UK, while the seventh and final single, "Perfect to Me", a remix of the album track "Perfect", was modestly successful in the UK.

Upon the release of Speak Your Mind, the album received generally favourable reviews from music critics. The album was also a commercial success, peaking at number 3 in both the UK Albums (OCC) chart and the Scottish Albums (OCC) chart. It also peaked at number 4 in the Irish Albums (IRMA) chart and number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK, it was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for equivalent sales of 300,000 units in the country. It was also certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and 2× Platinum by Music Canada (MC). The album would later be reissued with bonus tracks, including the chart-topping Sean Paul–Clean Bandit collaboration "Rockabye", Anne-Marie's most successful hit, and the modestly successful David Guetta collaboration "Don't Leave Me Alone". To promote the album, Anne-Marie went on the Speak Your Mind Tour from 2018 to 2019, featuring supporting acts such as Lennon Stella and Goody Grace.
