Because I Love It is the third studio album by American singer Amerie. It was released on May 11, 2007, by Columbia Records.

As a result, the album failed to chart on the Billboard 200, becoming Amerie's first studio album to do so. Nevertheless, the album was a moderate success in Europe and Japan, and has been certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
