Take Me As I Am (Faith Hill album)

Take Me as I Am is the debut album by country artist Faith Hill, released in 1993 on Warner Bros. Records, and has been certified 3×platinum in the United States for sales of three million copies.

Four singles were released from the album. The first two — "Wild One" and "Piece of My Heart" — reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 1994. "Wild One," the tale of a rebellious teen-aged girl in conflict with her parents' more conservative ways, was the lead-off single, spending four weeks at No. 1 that January.

"Piece of My Heart", a cover of the 1967 song by Erma Franklin, was issued as the follow-up. The third single, "But I Will", failed to break the Top 30, but Hill's fourth release in late 1994 (the title track) reached No. 2.

This album has sold 4.3 million copies world-wide.
