Yes I Am is the fourth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge, released by Island Records on September 21, 1993.[1] The title is generally thought to refer to Etheridge's recent coming out as a lesbian, confirming long-standing rumors about her personal life.[8] However, in 2018, Etheridge clarified that in fact the title for the track and album were not statements regarding her sexual identity.[9] Yes I Am is the pivotal album that gave Etheridge national and international recognition.[10] The rock ballad "Come to My Window" was the first single released from the album, which peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, and its video featured the actress Juliette Lewis having a nervous breakdown. This single was quickly followed by "I'm the Only One", which became a major hit in the US and reached No. 8 on the Hot 100, and "If I Wanted To", which reached No. 16. By 2010, the album had sold over 4,348,000 copies in the United States alone, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[11] In 2018, Etheridge went on tour to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Yes I Am's release and also re-released the album with eight bonus tracks
