The Trinity is the third album by dancehall artist Sean Paul, released in the United States by Atlantic Records on September 27, 2005 (see 2005 in music).

It was recorded entirely in Jamaica, with Henriques collaborating with producers on the island such as Steven "Lenky" Marsden, Donovan "Don Corleon" Bennett, Renaissance Crew, and Rohan "Jah Snowcone" Fuller, among others. Explaining the album's title, Henriques pointed out that it is his third album, and has spent three years in production, being "all done right here in the Third World." Also, it must be noted that the album's release date, September 27 (9/27), when divided equals 3 and consists of two numbers divisible by 3. Do you really need to note that?

The album was preceded by the single "We Be Burnin'," which commenced radio play on August 22, 2005. The music video for the single was directed by Jessy Terrero, who has also directed videos for singles by musicians such as 50 Cent, Young Jeezy, and Chingy. It was featured on the Black Entertainment Television series Access Granted on August 17, 2005 and premiered online on August 18, 2005 at MTV.com. The single itself has peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. It also peaked at number six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 so far, and seventeen on Billboard's R&B/Hip-hop charts. Multiple versions have been released with different lyrics. Sean Paul's album The Trinity has been certified platinum and since July 19, 2006 the album has sold 1,386,733 units in the U.S. It has also been certified platinum in Europe for selling 1 million copies in Europe.^[1] It also has sold 4,367,750 copies around the world
