Am I Not Your Girl? is the third album by Irish singer Sinéad O`Connor and the follow-up to the hugely successful I Do Not Want What I Haven`t Got. It is a collection of covers of mostly jazz standards, which O`Connor describes as `the songs I grew up listening to [and] that made me want to be a singer`.[11] The album title comes from the song `Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home`. The album is dedicated to the people of New York City and especially the homeless whom O`Connor met at St. Mark`s Place.[11]

The album did not gain much critical acclaim, perhaps because O`Connor had become a major artist in the modern pop genre due to her previous album I Do Not Want What I Haven`t Got and this album was composed of songs written from 1936 to 1978. This, coupled with the Garden State Arts Center controversy and an introduction in the album in which she mentions sexual abuse, addiction, emotional abuse, and asks `Où est le roi perdu? [translation: `Where is the lost king?`] If you`re out there—I want to see you.`,[11] led to O`Connor losing much of the commercial momentum her career had built up until then.

The album`s promotion was marked by a controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live, where O`Connor tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II, leading to public and media scrutiny.
