0304 is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Jewel. It was released in the United States on June 3, 2003 by Atlantic Records. Inspired by the sudden success of scoring a number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart with "Serve the Ego"—the final single from her previous album, This Way—in early November 2002, Jewel decided to make a radical departure from her previous folk-oriented musical efforts and recorded a dance album.

Commercial performance

0304 became the highest-debuting album of Jewel's career, entering the Billboard 200 at number two with 144,000 copies sold in its first week.[12] It earned a gold certification from Recording Industry Association of America one month after its release, on July 14, 2003,[13] and has sold over 771,000 copies in the United States as of June 2010.[14]

The music video for the lead single, "Intuition", featured a more "sexed-up" Jewel, showing cleavage and wearing a white T-shirt sprayed with water, although it was done in a "tongue-in-cheek" fashion. After the limited performance of follow-up single "Stand", Atlantic Records rushed a third track, "2 Become 1", to radio stations, but refused to allow Jewel to film a video.
