Therapy is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Anne-Marie. It was released on 23 July 2021, through Major Tom's, Asylum Records, and Atlantic Records. The album, a pop record, was produced by TMS, who previously produced her debut studio album, Speak Your Mind (2018), alongside Digital Farm Animals, Mojam, Nathan Dawe, Grades, Sire Noah, Lostboye, Cameron Gower Poole, Oak, Jean-Marie, Rudimental, Elvira Anderfjärd, Blake Slatkin, and Fred Ball. The album features guest appearances from producers Digital Farm Animals, Nathan Dawe, and Rudimental, alongside KSI, Little Mix, Niall Horan (previously of One Direction), and MoStack. Raye also provided backing vocals on the opening track, "x2". Before the album released, four non-album singles preceded the album, included "To Be Young" (featuring Doja Cat).
The album was supported by four singles. The first, "Don't Play" (featuring KSI and Digital Farm Animals), was released on the 15th of January, 2021, and was successful in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 2 on the UK singles chart, Anne-Marie's highest-charting single as a lead artist as of 2025. It also peaked at number 9 on the Irish Singles Chart and was certified Platinum in the UK. The second single, "Way Too Long" (featuring Nathan Dawe and MoStack), was released on the 9th of April, 2021, and was modestly successful, peaking at number 37 in both the UK and Ireland and certifying Silver. The third single, "Our Song" (featuring Niall Horan), was released on the 21st of May, 2021, and was decently successful, peaking at number 13 in the UK and number 7 in Ireland, and certifying Platinum in the UK. The fourth and final single, "Kiss My (Uh-Oh)", was released on the 23rd of July, 2021, and peaked at number 10 on the UK singles chart, where it certified Platinum.
Upon its release, the album was positively received by music critics, who praised the guest appearances and Anne-Marie's vocals, but criticized its lack of a unique sound and confusing direction. Commercially, the album charted higher in the UK than its predecessor, Speak Your Mind, peaking at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart. It also charted at number 4 and number 2 in Ireland and Scotland, and at number 3 on Ultratop's Belgian Albums Chart in Flanders. The album would eventually be certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for equivalent sales of 100,000 units in the country. To promote the album, Anne-Marie went on the Dysfunctional Tour, which featured artists such as Gracey, Billen Ted, and Mimi Webb. A deluxe edition would later be released, featuring the non-album singles "To Be Young" with Doja Cat and "Birthday", alongside a guest appearance from JJ Lin.
