Christina Milian is the self-titled debut album of singer/actress Christina Milian. It was released in 2001, but only outside the U.S.. Plans to release the album domestically were scrapped because of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. In this album, Christina collaborates with some of The Inc. stars, including Ja Rule and Charli Baltimore. The album did fairly well in the UK, achieving platinum status.

The album's first single "AM to PM", entered charts across the world and was a huge success, reaching #27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #3 in the UK. "When You Look at Me," the album's second single, became a major hit in several European countries, including France, Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom (where it peaked at number three). "Get Away," featuring Ja Rule, was supposed to the third single, but despite having a music video, it wasn't officially released. Christina Milian co-produced the song "Got to Have You".
