Unappreciated is the debut studio album by the American girl group Cherish. It was released on August 15, 2006, by Sho'nuff and Capitol Records. After shelving their first album, The Moment, with Reprise Records, Cherish independently developed new material for another debut project, featuring contributions from rappers Rasheeda and Sean P and producers Jasper Cameron, Don Vito, Adonis Shropshire, and Jazze Pha, who ultimately signed them to his Sho'nuff label.
The album received mixed-to-positive reviews, with critics commending its youthful energy, songwriting, and infectious production, while noting the group’s limited vocal range and stylistic similarities to other contemporary R&B acts. Commercially, it debuted at number 4 on the US Billboard 200 with 91,000 first-week sales, was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and also charted at number 20 in Japan and number 80 on the UK R&B Albums Chart.
Two singles were released from the album. Lead single, "Do It to It," featuring Sean P, peaked at number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top 10 in Japan and New Zealand, while title track and follow-up "Unappreciated" became a top ten hit on the UK R&B Chart, also peaking at number 41 in the United States. Unappreciated was promoted through performances, interviews, and touring, including opening for Ne-Yo, Lil Wayne, Julez Santana, and Dem Franchize Boyz in 2007.
