Cuz I Can is the 2004 official debut album (though not considered her debut album) by the Swedish Pop rock singer Ana Johnsson. The album was only released in Sweden on April 14, 2004. It was later worldwide-released as The Way I Am, becoming the commonly accepted first album by Johnsson. The only differences between the two albums is that the latter has a different cover and track listing. The Way I Am contains the first seven songs from Cuz I Can and some new tracks, including the huge hit "We Are", which is the official soundtrack for the Spider-Man 2 film, "Don't Cry for Pain" and "Coz I Can", a remix of "Cuz I Can". The leftover tracks were included as B-sides on the later released singles.

The Cuz I Can album spawned the singles "Cuz I Can", "Life" and "The Way I Am", of which only "Life" charted in the Swedish Singles Chart, at number 17.
