Startin' Over is the forthcoming album by American singer La Toya Jackson. When released, it will be Jackson's eleventh studio album. It produced two top twenty-five U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play hits: "Just Wanna Dance" (number thirteen, October 2004) and "Free the World" (number twenty-four, March 2005). The album was originally scheduled for release in 2002, but its release has been continually delayed to the point where Jackson is currently re-working the album to sound more up-to-date.

The first promo of Startin' Over was released in 2002. Because the album has been delayed, fans were eager to get their hands on a copy. Some had even claimed to be employees of Ja-Tail Records and demanded that promos be returned. This was the only promotional copy of Startin' Over that had been released. Eventually, the entire promo was leaked, making it virtually worthless.

Fourteen new tracks have been recorded for the "updated" album, although only twelve tracks will be used. A single and music video called "Startin' Over" are also planned; a release date has not yet been announced. It has been announced that there will not be any tracks about Jack Gordon, Jackson's abusive late ex-husband and manager, on the album.

Although the final track listing of the album will differ, the last proposed track listing is as follows:

16. "Tropical Breeze"
17. "Free the World" (extended dance mix)

¹ Tracks that will definitely not appear on the final album.

It should also be noted that between "Tropical Breeze" and "Home", only one will appear on the final version. It has also been confirmed that the single "Just Wanna Dance" will appear on the album.

[edit] Leaked tracks

Because of the continuous delays with the release of the album, the entire album was eventually leaked by promo owners, after more than 2 years of waiting.

Ja-Tail Records has responded by stating that many already-leaked tracks will not appear on the final album in their current form.
