The Female Boss is the debut solo album by the English singer-songwriter and N-Dubz member Tulisa. It was initially released in Ireland on 30 November 2012, and released in the UK on 3 December 2012 via All Around the World and Island Records. The album's artwork was revealed on 6 October 2012 via Tulisa's official Facebook page. The Female Boss originally was to be released on 26 November but was pushed back by one week. It incorporates hip-hop, grime and R&B styles while enlisting a variety of producers The-Dream, Fazer, Stereotypes, Rico Love, Diane Warren and Ed White, among others. The album features guests appearances from British rapper Wiley, American rapper Tyga and Nines. Three singles preceded the album's release; the lead single "Young" peaked at number 1 while "Live It Up" and "Sight of You" peaked within the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart.

The Female Boss has received generally negative reviews from music critics, with many panning the themes, intro of the album, production and lyrical content, while others felt the dance songs were highlights. Commercially, the album opened with poor sales, debuting at number 35 on the UK Albums Chart and number 55 in Ireland.
