Very Proud of Ya is the second full length album from hardcore punk band AFI. It is the last album in which bassist Geoff Kresge was still a member of the band. Kresge created the cover artwork for the album.

The songs "Two of a Kind" and "Yürf Rendenmein" are re-recordings of tracks from the band's previous album, Answer That and Stay Fashionable.

The title of the song "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" is a reference to the song of the same name by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster, but is not a cover. The reference is meant to be ironic, as the AFI song is about hate, rather than love.
