The Way I Am is the 2004 worldwide debut album from the Swedish pop/rock singer Ana Johnsson. She said:
| I like honest, hand-made music; no computer in the world can really compete with proper instruments. |
So Ana decided to record "The Way I Am" with driving guitars, catchy pop hook lines and self-confidence. She co-wrote most of the songs on this album. Most people know her from her "We Are" single, the theme song from the Spider-Man 2 movie. Following but less successful singles were "Don't Cry for Pain" and "Coz I Can". In Japan, the album was a hit, selling over 132,945 copies and being certified as Gold. Also, the album was 24th best-selling international album of 2004 in Japan.
