Delicious Surprise

Delicious Surprise is the fifth studio album by American country music artist Jo Dee Messina, released on April 26, 2005 via Curb Records. Her first non-Christmas album since Burn (2000), the album was recorded following the release of her first greatest hits collection in 2003. Delicious Surprise is Messina's first album in which she is credited as a producer. The album also brought back longtime collaborators Byron Gallimore and country musician Tim McGraw, along with Mark Bright.

The album received positive reviews from music critics, with many welcoming the return of the singer from her hiatus. The album became her third number one on the Top Country Albums chart and her first top ten album on the all-genre Billboard 200, peaking at number nine. The lead single, "My Give a Damn's Busted", became one of her most successful singles to date, topping the Hot Country Songs chart for two weeks. Follow-up singles "Delicious Surprise (I Believe It)", "Not Going Down", and "It's Too Late to Worry", although less successful, all peaked within the top-forty. The album has been certified Gold by the RIAA.

Following this album, Messina wouldn't release another commercially released album until 2014, with her sixth studio album Me. The singer had attempted two follow-ups to Delicious Surprise, the albums Unmistakable and Shine. She had released what was supposed to be the first two singles from Unmistakable, "Biker Chick" and "I'm Done", but the album was shelved and both singles were pulled from radio. She released a song called "I'm Done" in early 2009, but when Messina's label refused to release Shine at the last minute, the album was also scrapped.
